As long as I see no dust in your mirror, the whole world is clear to me, Wan Li.

Schiller

Love itself is hope, and it is always the hope of life. Love is your own quality, your own soul, your own situation and has nothing to do with others.

-Shi Tiesheng's "Retreat Notes"

The heart is a tree, the roots of love and hope are rooted in the soil, and the branches and leaves of wisdom and emotion bloom under the blue sky. Whether it is the wind and rain of the years or the rolling dust covering the green leaves, it always stands there waiting silently, accepting everything, being neither arrogant nor impatient, neither humble nor supercilious.

-Lao She's "Cat City"

The most shameful thing in life is that the body has not aged yet, and the mind has declined first.

-Aurelius's Meditation

The mistake lies not in our fate, but in ourselves.

-Shakespeare
