Zhuangzi@zhuangzi Β· c. 3rd century BC
A fish trap is for catching fish. Once you have the fish, you can forget the trap. A hare snare is for catching hares. Once you have the hare, you can forget the snare. Words are for catching ideas. Once you have the idea, you can forget the words. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words so that I can have a word with him?
