More quotes by Zhuangzi
Although things seem to be sometimes going up and sometimes descending, sometimes slipping away, nevertheless there is a reality, the same today as in the past. It does not change, for nothing can affect it. Could we not say it is one great harmony? So why shouldn't we ask about it.

The birth of a man is the birth of his sorrow. The longer he lives, the more stupid he becomes, because his anxiety to avoid unavoidable death becomes more and more acute. What bitterness! He lives for what is always out of reach! His thirst for survival in the future makes him incapable of living in the present.
Zhuangzi
When an archer shoots for enjoyment, he has all his skill when he shoots for a brass buckle, he gets nervous when he shoots for a prize of gold, he begins to see two targets.
Zhuangzi
If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.
Zhuangzi
I am going to try speaking some reckless words, and I want you to try to listen recklessly.

The true man breathes with his heels.
Zhuangzi
Each one's destiny cannot be altered.

Zhuangzi
