"The novel is a mirror held up to society, reflecting its flaws and its beauty."
漂亮的女人休要让她老去,风流浪的子不要让他贫困。
"Every man's life is a fairy tale written by God's fingers."
To know this world is to love it, and to love it is to grieve for it.
Taught from infancy that beauty is woman's sceptre, the mind shapes itself to the body, and roaming round its gilt cage, only seeks to adorn its prison.
