Art is not a mirror to reflect reality, but a hammer with which to shape it.
But all these stars are silent. You-you alone-will have the stars as no one else has them…
The silence is so deep it roars.
天地没有偏爱，视万物如草扎的狗；圣人没有偏爱，视百姓如草扎的狗。（引自《道德经》，萧鼎在《诛仙》中化用）
The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes.
The rocks we quarry today are the heritage we leave for tomorrow.
