13 齐物论:
罔两问景曰:“曩子行,今子止,曩子坐,今子起,何其无特操与?”景曰:“吾有待而然者邪!吾所待又有待而然者邪!吾待蛇蚹、蜩翼邪!恶识所以然?恶识所以不然?”
The Adjustment of Controversies:...:
The Penumbra asked the Shadow, saying, 'Formerly you were walking on, and now you have stopped; formerly you were sitting, and now you have risen up - how is it that you are so without stability?' The Shadow replied, 'I wait for the movements of something else to do what I do, and that something else on which I wait waits further on another to do as it does. My waiting, is it for the scales of a snake, or the wings of a cicada? How should I know why I do one thing, or do not do another?

6 影:
《庄子》曰:有畏影恶迹而去之走者,足举逾数而迹逾多,走逾疾而影不离。自以为尚迟,疾走不休,绝力而死。不知处阴以休影,处静以息迹,愚亦甚矣。
又曰:罔两问影曰:“曩子行,今子止;曩子坐,今子起。何其无特操与?”影曰:“吾有待而然者耶?”罔两,影外之微阴也。
