More quotes by Zhuangzi
Beneath multiple specific and individual distinctions, beneath innumerable and incessant transformations, at the bottom of the circular evolution without beginning or end, there hides a law, a unique nature participated in by all beings, in which this common participation produces a ground of common harmony.
Zhuangzi
Can a man cling to the positive without any negative in contrast to which it is seen to be positive? If he claims to do so he is a rouge or a madman.
Zhuangzi
The true man of the past waited upon Heaven when dealing with people and did not wait upon people when dealing with Heaven.
Zhuangzi
Am I a human dreaming I am a butterfly or a butterfly dreaming I am a human?
Zhuangzi
The Portal of God is nonexistence. All things sprang from nonexistence. Existence could not make existence existence. It must have proceeded from nonexistence, and nonexistence and nothing are one. Herein is the abiding place of the sage.
Zhuangzi

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
I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.
Zhuangzi
The greatest tragedy that can befall a person is the atrophy of his mind.
Zhuangzi
When the heart is right, for and against are forgotten.
Zhuangzi
All men know the use of the useful, but nobody knows the use of the useless. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words so that I can have a word with him?
Zhuangzi
Good fortune is as light as a feather, but nobody knows how to pick it up. Misfortune is as heavy as earth, but nobody knows how to stay out of it's way.
Zhuangzi
Life comes from the earth and life returns to the earth.
Zhuangzi
I know the joy of fishes in the river through my own joy, as I go walking along the same river.
Zhuangzi
The sound of water says what I think.
