Space must be felt to be understood.
I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up DOES rejoice. Still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend.
——从浙江观潮返上海后题词,1916年9月15日
Sometimes, I think the purpose of life is to reconcile us to its eventual loss.
We must balance the need for energy with the responsibility to protect our planet.
