Quote by Tu Fu

“If I could build a grand palace with a thousand, ten-thousand rooms A safe-house standing on a hill so strong that violent storms can’t destroy If I could shelter all the impoverished poets and scholars under heaven Offer them a gathering place of peace and joy— If I could hold this spectacular vision in my eyes Then I would gladly freeze to death in my lonely broken home”
