More quotes by Zhuangzi
Where can I find a man who has forgotten words, so I can have a few words with him?
Zhuangzi

Zhuangzi

Zhuangzi
Great knowledge is universal. Small knowledge is limited. Great words are inspiring small words are chatter.
Zhuangzi
The sage embraces things. Ordinary men discriminate amongst them and parade their discriminations before others. So I say those who discriminate, fail to see.
Zhuangzi
Life is finite, While knowledge is infinite.
Zhuangzi
If you have insight, you use your inner eye, your inner ear, to pierce to the heart of things, and have no need of intellectual knowledge.
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.
