Some dipshit on my facebook feed posted a quote from that book today and it was dumb. From this I can interpolate that book in it's totality must be shit.

Zhuangzi and Huizi were strolling along the road. Zhuangzi said, “The motorcycles drive about so freely, following the openings wherever they take them. Such is the happiness of motorcycles.”

Huizi said, “You are not a mechanic, so whence do you know the quality of motorcycles?”

Zhuangzi said, “You are not I, so whence do you know I don’t know the quality of motorcycles?”

Huizi said, “I am not you, to be sure, so I don’t know what it is to be you. But by the same token, since you are certainly not a motorcycle, my point about your inability to know the quality of motorcycles stands intact.”

Zhuangzi said, “Let’s go back to the starting point. You said, ‘Whence do you know the quality of motorcycles?’ Since your question was premised on your knowing that I know it, I must have known it from here, up above the road.”

If you like that, you'll like the book. If you don't, you won't.
