Sanmao’s classic quotations
1. The loneliness of red can only reflect the color of blood in the snow or dark background.
2. Love is not necessary. Without it, the heart will be desolate. Desolate days are sad. It’s not just love that’s sad?
3. A moment of true love cannot be said to be false. Love is eternal, it cannot be said that it is only for that moment.
4. Your heart is my corner and the end of the world, I can't go further. We will go to the ends of the earth in this life, not to travel halfway around the world, but to be with each other in this world.
5. When you are very old and I am very old and neither of us can walk or hold you, we put on clean clothes, lie on the bed together, close our eyes and say: OK Bar! Let’s go together!
6. What is love, and why is it so bitter and painful? As long as you can still hold it, you will not give up until you die, and you will be willing to die.
7. Perhaps, we will have one day after all: holding someone else’s hand and forgetting who they were.
8. If what you give me is the same as what you give to others, then I don’t want it.
9. After falling in love with you, I can understand the taste of longing, the pain of separation, the torment of jealousy, and the endless possessiveness. Why does every move you make make my heart flutter? Why am I always afraid that time will fly by and I won’t be able to stay with you forever?
10. Every time I think of you, a grain of sand falls from the sky and the Sahara is formed.
