Zhuang Zi

" The greatest has nothing beyond itself, and is called the Great Unit; the smallest has nothing within itself, and is called the Small Unit.

That which has no thickness cannot be increased in thickness, yet in extent it may cover a thousand miles.

The heavens are as low as the earth; mountains are on the same levels are marshes.

The sun at noon is the sun declining; the creature born is the creature dying.

A great similarity differs from a little similarity. This is called the little similarity-and-difference. All things are in one way all similar, in another way all different. This is called the great similarity-and-difference.

The South has no limit and has a limit. [Having no limits is the limit]

I go to the state of Yueh today and arrived yesterday.

Connected rings can be separated...

Love all things equally; the universe is one."

-Zhuang Zi
