Use nothing but great use. ——Zhuangzi "Zhuangzi"

Everyone knows the uses of useful things, but no one knows the uses of useless things. ? (People all know the uses of usefulness, but they don’t understand the greater use of uselessness.) - Zhuangzi

In addition to the necessary things for daily use, we must also have some useless games and enjoyments, so that life can be fulfilling. I find it interesting. ?

We watch the sunset, watch the autumn river, look at the flowers, listen to the rain, smell the fragrance, drink wine that does not seek to quench our thirst, and eat snacks that do not seek to fill us up,?

It is all life. It is a necessary decoration, although it is useless, and the more refined it is, the better. ——Zhou Zuoren's "Tea and Food in Beijing"

In the world of utilitarianism, reading maintains detachment, and detachment is conducive to our thinking. Reading is useless. Because of this, reading is a big deal. We are reading a book because it is useless. ——Charles Danziger "Why Read"

Read some useless books, do some useless things, and spend some useless time, all in order to retain a transcendence beyond yourself outside of everything known. Opportunities, some of the most amazing changes in life come from moments like this. ——Liang Wendao, "Happy Oneself"

Usefulness means a kind of slavery. Uselessness means existing only for yourself, and uselessness is the real freedom. Because it is useless, you can use it for yourself. ——Zhang Fangyu "Insights in Solitude"

The interesting things in the world, including poetry, wine, philosophy, and love, are often useless. Reciting useless poems, getting drunk on useless wine, reading useless books, and loving useless things, he finally became a useless person, but he lived a meaningful life because of it. ——Zhou Guoping's "Leisure"
