chuang-tzu

a fist trap is for catching fish;
once you've caught the fish, you can forget the trap.

a rabbit-snare is for catching rabbits;
once you've caught the rabbit, you can forget about the snare.

words are for catching ideas;
once you've caught the idea, you can forget about the words.

where can i find a person who knows how to forget about words,
so that i can have a few words with him?
