“There are many people in this world — some of
them are good, and some of them are bad. But
there are even more who can't be simply classified
as 'good' or 'bad'. They may not think in the same
way you think, or walk the same path you walk. Just
like the case with Yu Ai and Yuan Ying - even the
same set of sword arts looks slightly different in
different people's hands. Don't deny others just
because they are different from you. Like how the
ocean is capable of holding water from thousands of
rivers, a person should be forgiving and tolerant to
diversity, and it is the same for practicing martial
arts. People who are narrow-minded can only
achieve so much. Even if they do reach the summit,
they cannot stay there for long.”
― Meng Xi Shi, 千秋 [Qian Qiu]

“Shen Qiao did not move for a long time, in these moments, the glint and noise around him faded, he held the slowly cooling body of Yu Ai, his head bowed, no one knew what he was thinking.

Maybe it was a scene from all those years ago, he and his martial siblings on the mountain eating and sleeping in sync, training together.

And yet past dreams sought, people departed, what has passed will never return.

Just like some errors have no way of being remedied, some cracks will forever persist, and death, impossible to wake from.”
― Meng Xi Shi, 千秋 [Qian Qiu]

“Hua Cheng said quietly, "Your Highness, I understand your everything.

"Your courage, your despair; your kindness, your pain; your resentment, your hate; your intelligence, your foolishness.

"If I could, I would have you use me as your stepping stone, the bridge you take apart after crossing, the corpse bones you need to trample to climb up, the sinner who deserved the butchering of a million knives. But, I know you wouldn't allow it."

(...)

However, Hua Cheng only replied, "To die in battle for you is my greatest honour."

Those words were like a fatal blow. The tears in Xie Lian's eyes could no longer be restrained, and they came pouring out.

Like he was hanging on the thread of his life, he pleaded, "You said you would never leave me."

However, Hua Cheng replied, "There is no banquet in this world that doesn't come to an end."

Xie Lian bowed his head and buried it deep into his chest, his heart and throat in constricted agony, unable to speak.

Yet soon after, he heard Hua Cheng say above him, "But, I will never leave you."

Hearing this, Xie Lian's head shot up.

Hua Cheng said to him, "I will come back. Your Highness, believe me.”

Tears of laughter seeped from the corners of Wei WuXian’s eyes, 'Your admiration was a bit too cheap, wasn’t it? You said that you’ll forever stand on the opposite side of me. Very well. Does the fact that you’re standing on the opposite side of me affect me at all? Both your admiration and your hatred are so, so insignificant. How could you be so shameless as to flaunt them in front of others?”
― 墨香铜臭, 魔道祖师 [Mó Dào Zǔ Shī]

“If I knew that today would be the last time I’d see you, I would hug you tight and pray the Lord be the keeper of your soul. If I knew that this would be the last time you pass through this door, I’d embrace you, kiss you, and call you back for one more. If I knew that this would be the last time I would hear your voice, I’d take hold of each word to be able to hear it over and over again. If I knew this is the last time I see you, I’d tell you I love you, and would not just assume foolishly you know it already.”
― Gabriel García Márquez
