If the difference between order and chaos or preservation and ruin were the same as that between high mountains and deep valleys, or between white clay and black lacquer, then wisdom would have had no place: stupidity would also have been alright.
Jika perbedaan antara keteraturan dan kekacauan atau pelestarian dan kehancuran sama dengan perbedaan antara pegunungan tinggi dan lembah yang dalam, atau antara tanah liat putih dan pernis hitam, maka kebijaksanaan tidak akan mendapat tempat: kebodohan juga tidak masalah.
He formed the clay into a bowl.
Dia membentuk tanah liat menjadi mangkuk.
