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. Suddenly, when nothing came into existence, could one really say whether it belonged to the category of existence or non-existence?
Zhuangzi
The little child learns to speak, though it has no learned teachers - because it lives with those who know how to speak.
Zhuangzi
The enlightened attention rejects nothing nor welcomes anything-like a mirror it responds equally to all.
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
