The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.

I want my work to hold contradictions.

Grief is the price we pay for love.

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.

人的心胸欲念多则狭窄，欲念少则心胸宽广；人的心境多欲则忙乱，少欲则悠闲；人的心术多欲则险恶，少欲则和平；人的心事多欲则忧愁，少欲则快乐；人心之气象，多欲则软弱，少欲则刚强。

The greatest joy in life is to be convinced that one is loved.
