More quotes by Zhuangzi
How do I know that loving life is not a delusion? How do I know that in hating death I am not like a man who, having left home in his youth, has forgotten the way back?
Zhuangzi
Study is to study what cannot be studied. Undertaking means undertaking what cannot be undertaken. Philosophizing is to philosophize about what cannot be philosophized about. Knowing that knowing is unknowable is true perfection.
Zhuangzi
Heaven cannot but be high. Earth cannot but be broad. The sun and moon cannot but revolve. All creation cannot but flourish. To do so is their TAO. But it is not from extensive study that this may be known, nor by dialectical skill that his may be made clear. The true sage will have none of these.
Zhuangzi
A path is made by walking on it.
Zhuangzi
My opinion is that you never find happiness until you stop looking for it.
Zhuangzi

Zhuangzi
Great wisdom is generous petty wisdom is contentious. Great speech is impassioned, small speech cantankerous.
Zhuangzi
Running around accusing others is not as good as laughing. And enjoying a good laugh is not as good as going along with things.
Zhuangzi
Those who realise their folly are not true fools.
Zhuangzi
Birth is not the beginning, Death is not the end.
Zhuangzi
Transmit the established facts do not transmit words of exaggeration. If you do that, you will probably come out all right.
Zhuangzi
If the Way is made clear, it is not the Way.
Zhuangzi
Once I dreamed I was a butterfly, and now I no longer know whether I am Chuang Tzu, who dreamed I was a butterfly, or whether I am a butterfly dreaming that I am Chuang Tzu.
Zhuangzi
If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.
Zhuangzi
When affirmation and negation came into being, Tao faded. After Tao faded, then came one-sided attachments.
Zhuangzi
Once Zhuangzi dreamt he was a butterfly...
