“Young man, there are two cringe-worthy phrases in one’s life that must be said, no matter what.”

“Which two?”

“‘Thank you’, and 'I’m sorry’.”

“What can anybody do to me if I don’t say them?”

“Someday, you’ll say those words in tears.”

“To have beauty exist in this world is already in itself something to be grateful for.”
― Mò Xiāng Tóng Xiù, Heaven Official's Blessing: Tian Guan Ci Fu (Novel), Vol. 1

“You remember too much,
my mother said to me recently.
Why hold onto all that? And I said,
Where can I put it down?”
