蹄者所以在兔，得兔而忘蹄；
言者所以在意，得意而忘言。
吾安得忘言之人而與之言哉?
"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 words so I can have a word with him?"
