Chapter 33, Part 7E - Chuang Tzu
No matter how swift the barbed arrow, there are times when it is neither moving nor at rest.
A dog is not a canine.
A yellow horse and a black cow make three.
White dogs are black.
The orphan colt never had a mother.
Take a pole one foot long, cut away half of it every day, and at the end of ten thousand generations there will still be some left. ~ Burton Watson translation via Terebess Asia Online ~
