以指喩指之非指、 不若以非指喩指之非指也、
『荘子』斉物論篇
To take fingers in illustration of fingers as not being fingers,
is not so good as to take non-fingers in illustration of fingers as not being fingers.
Fung Yu-lan, Chuang-tzu, 1931, p.44
 
指不至、至不絶、
『荘子』天下篇
The finger indicates, but needs not touch, (the object).
James Legge, The Texts of Taoism, Part 2, 1891, p.230
