More quotes by Zhuangzi
Heaven is like an egg, and the earth is like the yolk of the egg.
Zhuangzi
Calculate what man knows and it cannot compare to what he doesn't know. Calculate the time he is alive and it cannot compare to the time before he was born. Yet man takes something so small and tries to exhaust the dimensions of something so large!
Zhuangzi

Zhuangzi
Everything has what is innate,everything has what is necessary.
Zhuangzi

Zhuangzi
Make your will one! Don't listen with your ears, listen with your mind. No, don't listen with your mind, but listen with your spirit. Listening stops with the ears, the mind stops with recognition, but spirit is empty- and waits on all things. The Way gathers in emptiness alone. Emptiness is the fasting of the mind.
Zhuangzi
He who pursues fame at the risk of losing his self is not a scholar.

Zhuangzi
If we look on heaven and earth as a single crucible, and on the creator as the founder, would there be any place I could not go? When it is time, I will fall asleep, and when the right time comes, I will wake up again.
Zhuangzi
Where is that man who has forgotten words that I may have a word with him?
Zhuangzi
Fish live in water. Men die in it.Nature is diverse, and not all tastes are the same.
Zhuangzi
Listening stops with the ears, the mind stops with recognition, but spirit is empty and waits on all things.
Zhuangzi
Words exist because of meaning once you’ve gotten the meaning, you can forget the words.
Zhuangzi
Luck implies an absolute absence of any principle.
Zhuangzi
Being is thoughtless-beyond and beneath all categories of thought. Expression is the realization of creative thought. Being is still expression, moving. But then if I do not strive, who will?
Zhuangzi
Let your mind wander in simplicity, blend your spirit with the vastness, follow along with things the way they are, and make no room for personal views-then the world will be governed.
Zhuangzi
The living all find death unpleasant men mourn over it. And yet, what is death, but the unbending of the bow and its return to its case?
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
...the ten thousand things belong to one storehouse and life and death share the same body.
Zhuangzi
To be constant is to be useful. To be useful is to realize one's true nature. Realization of one's true nature is happiness. When one reaches happiness, one is close to perfection.
