I just read The Veil the other day, and I found his description of the characters' psychology very touching. Quotations are available in many places.

1. A person who loses heart once hit will always be a loser.

2. Love needs a feeling of weakness, a requirement of consideration and love, and a passion for helping and pleasing others-if not selfless, at least it is selfish cleverly concealed; Love contains a certain degree of shyness and cowardice.

3. Getting into the habit of reading is equivalent to building a shelter for yourself, which can avoid almost all the disasters in life.

4. A person is willing to give up his career prospects after only half an hour's consideration because he sees that another way of life is more significant, which requires a strong personality. If we rush out of this step and never regret it later, we will need more personality ...

5. We should tolerate others as we tolerate ourselves.

6. If a person falls into the water, it doesn't matter whether he swims well or not. Anyway, he has to struggle out or drown.

7. Women constantly commit suicide for love, but generally speaking, they are always careful not to let suicide become a reality. Usually it's just a gesture to arouse their lover's pity or terror.

8. If the state evaluates anything higher than freedom, it will lose freedom; Ironically, if it evaluates comfort or money highly, it will also lose comfort or money.-

9. Love is just an episode and one of many things in daily life, but the novel exaggerates love and gives it an important position that violates the truth of life.

1. The moon and sixpence are in sight. Are you busy for a sixpence life? Or give up for looking up at the bright moon in your heart?

11. Many people were named, but few were elected.

12. One of two lovers always loves the other, and the other just accepts the other's love. This is a painful truth that most of us must obey. But occasionally there will be two people who are madly in love with each other and are madly in love with each other at the same time ...

13. It is much easier to change good habits than to get rid of bad ones, which is a great sadness in life.

14. To make a person show his essence, it is the most effective way to ask him to take a responsibility.

15. The easiest way to raise a person is to belittle another person.

16. It is often found that a prime minister who left his post was just a boastful speaker. A disarmed general is nothing more than a dull street hero.

17. Conscience is the sentry in each of us. It is on duty and stands guard there, watching us not to do anything illegal.

18. People ask you to criticize, but what they want is praise.-

19. Conscience is the patron saint of the social order inspired by personal self-preservation.

2. Because time is fleeting and irreversible, it is the most precious wealth in the world. Abuse of time is undoubtedly the most meaningless way for people to kill time.

21 If you think about self-esteem in love, there is only one reason: in fact, you still love yourself the most. The Moon and Sixpence

22 Each of us is lonely in the world. Everyone is imprisoned in an iron tower and can only communicate his thoughts with others by some symbols; And these symbols do not have the same value, so their meaning is vague and uncertain. We are very pitiful to pass on the wealth in our hearts to others, but they have no ability to accept it. Therefore, we can only walk alone, although our bodies are close to each other, but we are not together, and we can neither understand other people nor be understood by others. Mao Mu's The Moon and Sixpence
