“Words have value; what is of value in words is meaning. Meaning has something it is pursuing, but the thing that it is pursuing cannot be put into words and handed down. The world values words and hands down books, but although the world values them, I do not think them worth valuing. What the world takes to be value is not real value.”
– Zhuangzi, The Complete Works of Zhuangzi, Watson tr. (Ch 13)
