tao-te-ching:

Verse 12.

The opening stanza of verse 12 is crucial to destroying our fake beliefs:

 Colors blind the eye.
 Sounds deafen the ear.
 Flavors numb the taste.
 Thoughts weaken the mind.
 Desires wither the heart.

This is from the non-translation (certainly the best interpretation there is) - by Stephen Mitchell
