About Zhuangzi
莊子 Zhūangzi (c. 369 BC – c. 286 BC), literally Master Zhuang, was a Chinese philosopher, who is supposed to have lived during the Warring States Period, corresponding to the Hundred Schools of Thought. His name is also transliterated as Zhuang Zi, Zhuang Zhou, Chuang Tzu, Chuang Tse. Chuang was his surname and Tse indicates master; so he would be referred to as Master Chuang. You will also see his name given as "Chuang Chou" or "Zhuang Zhu", this was his proper name, first and last, not an alternate spelling of "Chuang Tzu" or "Zhuangzi".

Additional quotes by Zhuangzi
Suppose you and I have had an argument. If you have beaten me instead of my beating you, then
are you necessarily right and am I necessarily wrong? If I have beaten you instead of your beating me, then
am I necessarily right and are you necessarily wrong? Is one of us right and the other wrong? Are both of us
right or are both of us wrong? If you and I don't know the answer, then other people are bound to be even
more in the dark. Whom shall we get to decide what is right? Shall we get someone who agrees with you to
decide? But if he already agrees with you, how can he decide fairly? Shall we get someone who agrees with
me, how can he decide? Shall we get someone who disagrees with both of us? But if he already agrees with
both of us, how can he decide? Shall we get someone who agrees with both of us? But if he already agrees
with both of us, how can he decide? Obviously, then, neither you nor I nor anyone else can know the answer.
Shall we wait for still another person?
