* saito: 君子の交りは淡きこと水の如し　The intercourse of great men is frank and fresh as water―“Great men meet as water 
meets water.”
* https://english.stackexchange.com/q/248978
* Zhuangzi Chapter XX (https://ctext.org/zhuangzi/tree-on-the-mountain): Moreover, the intercourse of superior men 
is tasteless as water, while that of mean men is sweet as new wine. But the tastelessness of the superior men leads 
on to affection, and the sweetness of the mean men to aversion. The union which originates without any cause will 
end in separation without any cause.
