Life needs a sense of ritual, there is no useless book in the world

Excerpts of golden quotes

Sharing of famous quotes excerpted from this book

For some things, the thicker the better, it has to be just right;

We say deep words in a shallow way,

We take the long road slowly Walk.

——Bi Shumin

Everything about a person should be beautiful,

appearance, clothing, soul, and thoughts.

——Chekhov

I always hit the road without thinking,

because the feeling of starting is so good,

The world is suddenly full of possibilities.

——Kerouac

The difficult things in the world must be done in the easy way;

The great things in the world must be done in the details.

——Lao Tzu

There are creeping grasses in the wild, and there is zero dew.

There is a beautiful person, just like Qingyang.

——"The Book of Songs"

The most gentle thing is the gentleness of bowing the head,

Like the shyness of a water lotus that cannot bear the cool breeze.

——Xu Zhimo

Emotions are sometimes just a matter of one person and have nothing to do with anyone else.

Love or not love, you can only end it on your own.

——Lin Huiyin

How many people love you when you are young and happy,

admiring your beauty, pretending or sincerely.

Only one loves your pilgrim soul.

——Yeats

It is not enough for a person to only have this life.

He should also have a poetic world.

——Wang Xiaobo

I have always liked reading "useless" books. Those essays and famous quotes are a treasure in my life. The author selflessly shared their life experiences gained through many years of hard work and ups and downs. I have no reservations about every bit of it and regard it as a treasure.

But when I first entered society, a leader once advised me: Don’t read some “useless” books, and read more books that improve your skills. I blushed a little at the time, and one day after I experienced the death of a loved one, I came across a book and burst into tears when I saw that paragraph.

My grandma, like the old grandma in the book, likes to sit at the door of her house every day, smiling and saying hello to the neighbors coming and going, day after day. And the book says: Say hello just to prevent yourself from forgetting and forgetting other people’s names. It's a pity that I only saw it now.

Reading is really, really important to us, but the more I live, the more I feel:

If you don’t understand life, you can’t read. The meaning of reading is probably to use the feelings of life to read more deeply, and to use the income from reading to live more clearly.

If I could go back in time, I would tell the leader who suggested me to read some "useful" books very frankly and firmly: There are no useless books in the world. Any book is a treasure.

Finally: I am very lucky to have met friends with the same interests and hobbies on Xiaohongshu. Thank you for your company. I will always accompany you and grow together. The above is my encouragement.
