Zhuangzi

All men know the utility of useful things but they do not know the utility of futility.
Zhuangzi
When the heart is right, for and against are forgotten.
Zhuangzi
How do I know that loving life is not a delusion? How do I know that in hating death I am not like a man who, having left home in his youth, has forgotten the way back?
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
Sound intelligence promises victory in every battle.
