Where can I find a man who has forgotten the words

 

The fish trap exists because of the fish. Once you've gotten the fish, you can forget the trap . The rabbit snare exists because of the rabbit . Once you've gotten the rabbit , you can forget the snare . Words exist because of meaning . Once you've gotten the meaning , you can forget the words . Where can I find a man who has forgotten the words so that I can talk with him ?

— Chuang - Tzu (c 200 B.C.E.)
