Chuang Tzu

Chuang Tzu (lived approximately c. 370-287 BCE)

“If right were really right, it would differ so clearly from not right that there would be no need for argument. If so were really so, it would differ so clearly from not so that there would be no need for argument. Forget the years, forget distinctions. Leap into the boundless and make it your home!”

  • From Chuang Tzu: Basic Writings (section 2), translated by Burton Watson. (Columbia University Press, 1996).
