And how do I know that the hate of death is not like a man who has lost his home when young and does not know where his home is to return to?

More quotes by Zhuangzi
Men do not mirror themselves in running water - they mirror themselves in still water. Only what is still can still the stillness of other things.
Zhuangzi
'I shall have heaven and earth for my coffin and its shell the sun and moon for my two round symbols of jade, the stars and constellations for my pearls and jewels and all things assisting as the mourners. Will not the provisions for my funeral be complete? What could you add to them?'
Zhuangzi
The eye is a menace to clear sight, the ear is a menace to subtle hearing, the mind is a menace to wisdom, every organ of the senses is a menace to its own capacity.
Zhuangzi
The eyes envy the mind.
Zhuangzi
Life comes from the earth and life returns to the earth.
Zhuangzi
Heaven does without doing through its purity, Earth does without doing through its calmness.
Zhuangzi
Forget the years, forget distinctions. Leap into the boundless and make it your home!
Zhuangzi
The sage has the sun and moon by his side and the universe under his arm. He blends everything into a harmonious whole. . . . He blends the disparities of ten thousand years into one complete purity. All things are blended like this and mutually involve each other.
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
Fish live in water. Men die in it.Nature is diverse, and not all tastes are the same.
Zhuangzi
Human life is limited, but knowledge is limitless. To drive the limited in pursuit of the limitless is fatal and to presume that one really knows is fatal indeed!
Zhuangzi
The Tao is in all things, in their divisions and their fullness. What I dislike about divisions is that they multiply, and what i dislike about multiplication is that it makes people want to hold fast to it. So people go out and forget to return, seeing little more than ghosts.
Zhuangzi
The World is Large - Its beauty indescrible.
Zhuangzi
When I talk about having good hearing, I don't mean just listening, but listening to yourself. When I talk about good eyesight, I don't mean just looking, but looking at yourself.
Zhuangzi
Let your mind wander in the pure and simple. Be one with the infinite. Let all things take their course.
Zhuangzi
Your mind must become one, do not try to understand with your ears but with your heart. Indeed, not with your heart but with your soul.
Zhuangzi
Man may rest in the eternal fitness he may abide in the everlasting and roam from the beginning to the end of all creation. He may bring his nature to a condition of ONE, he may nourish his strength he may harmonise his virtue, and so put himself into partnership with God.
Zhuangzi
Understanding that rests in what it does not understand is the finest.
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
The knowledge of the ancients reached the highest point-the time before anything existed. This is the highest point. It is exhaustive. There is no adding to it.
Zhuangzi
