“My sorrow, my day upon day and night upon night of relentless grief is not for the mess the world is in, and it's not for my own morality; it's for my delicate heart and the wounds it had yet to endure. I grieve for all the suffering it has endured. I agonize over all that I have given to others and to the world, even as I've failed to live better myself. It's not the world's fault; it's my fragile heart's fault. We're not exempt from the world's injury, so we are doomed to suffer spiritual illness over time.” — Qiu Miaojin
