Lin Qingxuan’s famous sayings are as follows:
1. All comparisons are a kind of persistence.
2. Solitary happiness means that a person can be happy when he is alone and has the enrichment of his soul and life; solitary sobriety means that he is not confused by the happiness of others. The lifestyle that everyone thinks he should live is often not the way to live. It must suit us.
3. A person’s view of pain and joy is not certain, nor is it permanent. Many things that I thought were painful back then are now full of joy when I think about them.
4. The best expression is silence, not words.
5. Have you ever thought about going to the top floor of your office to watch the stars all night?
6. For a long time, I have been looking for a reason to explain why I love you, but I can't find it, because I can't limit my love for you to just one reason.
7. We must bloom silently and wholeheartedly, and use flowers to prove our existence.
8. The first-rate people see Baiyun as extremely beautiful, but they don’t want to own it, they just want to understand it. In this life, love is like white clouds passing by, and things are like bubbles in dreams.
9. Everyone has sadness, but everyone’s sadness is different.
10. Anyone with a spiritual heart is good at silence.
