霞 > 霞's Quotes

“It has taken me all my life up to now to fall in love with the world, but I've started to feel it the last couple of months. To fall in love with the world isn't to ignore or overlook suffering, both human and otherwise. For me anyway, to fall in love with the world is to look up at the night sky and feel your mind swim before the beauty and the distance of the stars. It is to hold your children while they cry, to watch as the sycamore trees leaf out in June. When my breastbone starts to hurt, and my throat tightens, and tears well in my eyes, I want to look away from feeling. I want to deflect with irony, or anything else that will keep me from feeling directly. We all know how loving ends. But I want to fall in love with the world anyway, to let it crack me open. I want to feel what there is to feel while I am here. Sendak ended that interview with the last words he ever said in public: "Live your life. Live your life. Live your life." Here is my attempt to do so.”

“Weakness and ignorance are not barriers to survival, but arrogance is.”
― Liu Cixin, Death's End

“Chính nhờ con đường mà đội quân này đi qua, chũng tôi đã khắc cốt ghi tâm về sự chênh lệch với kẻ địch trong chiến tranh. Vinh quang mà các anh biết được chỉ là đọc trong ghi chép lịch sử, còn vết thương của chúng tôi là do máu của đời ông đời cha ngưng kết lại mà thành, so với các anh, chúng tôi hiểu rõ hơn nhiều chiến tranh là như thế nào.”
― Lưu Từ Hân, Tam thể - Khu rừng đen tối
