“Tình yêu / không phải chuyện / đưa cho nhau / ngày một bó hoa / Nó là chuyện / những đêm ròng / không ngủ / tóc tai bù / như những rặng cây to”
― Trần Dần

“Remember, you cannot be both young and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don’t learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying “yes” begins things. Saying “yes” is how things grow. Saying “yes” leads to knowledge. “Yes” is for young people. So for as long as you have the strength to, say “yes'.”
― Stephen Colbert

“Human existence is so fragile a thing and exposed to such dangers that I cannot love without trembling.”
