More quotes by Zhuangzi
Forget the years, forget distinctions. Leap into the boundless and make it your home!
Zhuangzi
Birth is not a beginning death is not an end. There is existence without limitation there is continuity without a starting point.
Zhuangzi
That knowledge which stops at what it does not know, is the highest knowledge.
Zhuangzi
Listening stops with the ears, the mind stops with recognition, but spirit is empty and waits on all things.
Zhuangzi
The enlightened attention rejects nothing nor welcomes anything-like a mirror it responds equally to all.
Zhuangzi
The greatest tragedy that can befall a person is the atrophy of his mind.
Zhuangzi
If there is existence, there must be non-existence. And if there was a time when nothing existed, there must have been a time before that - when even nothing did not exist.

Zhuangzi
Study is to study what cannot be studied. Undertaking means undertaking what cannot be undertaken. Philosophizing is to philosophize about what cannot be philosophized about. Knowing that knowing is unknowable is true perfection.
Zhuangzi
Tao is beyond words and beyond things. It is not expressed either in word or in silence. Where there is no longer word or silence Tao is apprehended.

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
To exercise no-thought and rest in nothing is the first step toward resting in Tao. To start from nowhere and follow no road is the first step toward attaining Tao.
Zhuangzi
Great knowledge is universal. Small knowledge is limited. Great words are inspiring small words are chatter.
Zhuangzi
Great knowledge sees all in one. Small knowledge breaks down into the many.
Zhuangzi
There is a beginning. There is no beginning of that beginning ... There is something. There is nothing.
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.
