Life is not a pleasure, but a very heavy work.

——

Leo Tolstoy

Life is a battle.

——

Korolenko

The heavy night is the prelude to day.

——

Guo Xiaochuan

The bitter tea that must be tasted in life comes from thinking, begins with worry, treats the world with generosity, and treats things with elegance. It must be diluted.

The wind abides in the dust and the fragrant flowers are gone. I am tired of combing my hair day and night. Things are different and people are not the same, everything is over. If you want to speak, shed tears first!

————Li Qingzhao - "Wulingchun"

Those who abandon me will not be able to stay in yesterday's day, and those who disturb my heart will be troubled today.
