More quotes by Zhuangzi
Birth is not the beginning, Death is not the end.
Zhuangzi
There are no greater adversaries than yin and yang, because nothing in Heaven or on Earth escapes them. But it is not yin and yang that do this, it is your heart that makes it so.
Zhuangzi
Only the intelligent knows how to identify all things as one. . . . When one is at ease with himself, one is near Tao. This is to let Nature take its own course.
Zhuangzi
When you're dreaming, you don't know it's a dream. You might even interpret a dream in your dream - and then wake up and realize it was all a dream. Perhaps a great awakening will reveal this to be a dream as well.
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

Zhuangzi
Great wisdom is generous petty wisdom is contentious. Great speech is impassioned, small speech cantankerous.
Zhuangzi
The enlightened attention rejects nothing nor welcomes anything-like a mirror it responds equally to all.
Zhuangzi
The man who has some respect for his person keeps his carcass out of sight, hides himself as perfectly as he can.
Zhuangzi
When the shoe fits, the foot is forgotten. When the belt fits, the belly is forgotten. When the heart is right, for and against are forgotten. No drives, no compulsions, no needs, no attractions: Then your affairs are under control. You are a free man.
Zhuangzi
Everything has what is innate,everything has what is necessary.
Zhuangzi
Only fools imagine they are already awake. How clearly they understand everything! How easily they distinguish this deception from that reality!
Zhuangzi
You cannot speak of ocean to a well-frog, the creature of a narrower sphere. You cannot speak of ice to a summer insect, the creature of a season.
