But Words, words are not mere puffs of breath. Words speak. But if definitions have not already been agreed upon, can they really say anything? And if words are clouded, where is the "right" or the "wrong"? Tao! How could we go on without it? How can words exist and still be impossible? Tao is obscured by small"accomplishments" in the same way words are obscured by rhetorical flourishes.
-From The Essential Chuang Tzu
