“Lies written in ink cannot disguise facts written in blood.”
― Lu Xun

“The opinion that art should have nothing to do with politics is itself a political attitude.”
― George Orwell

“I thought: hope cannot be said to exist, nor can it be said not to exist. It is just like roads across the earth. For actually the earth had no roads to begin with, but when many men pass one way, a road is made.”
― Lu Hsun

“The fearful thing about the Chinese literary scene is that everyone keeps introducing new terms without defining them. And everyone interprets these terms as he pleases. To write a good deal about yourself is expressionism. To write largely about others is realism. To write poems on a girl's leg is romanticism. To ban poems on a girl's leg is classicism.”
― Lu Xun
