"The truth is not always beautiful, nor beautiful words the truth."
Is there such a thing as a cheerful pessimist? That's what I am.
我写作是为了记住,不让过去溜走。
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
尊崇贤人,不重女色;孝敬父母能够尽心尽力;侍奉君主能够舍生忘死;与朋友交往能够做到说话讲信用。这样的人,虽然说没有学习过做人的道理,但我却认为他学过了。
