“Ngọc quế buồn nào gội tóc xưa
Hồn xa chĩu sách nhánh say sưa
Hiến dâng
Hiến dâng quả bồng hường
Hoàng tử nghiêng buồn vây tóc mưa”
― nguyễn xuân sanh, Xuân Thu nhã tập

“I am proud of my heart alone, it is the sole source of everything, all our strength, happiness and misery. All the knowledge I possess everyone else can acquire, but my heart is all my own”
― Goethe Wolfgang, The Sorrows of Young Werther

― Milan Kundera, Ignorance

“The stronger their nostalgia, the emptier of recollections it becomes.”
― Milan kundera, Ignorance
