Quote by Ann Liang

“You know, I used to have this theory that if I wanted something badly enough, the universe would make sure to keep it just out of my reach. Like a cruel joke, or a trick. But . . . maybe the cruelest trick the universe can play on us is to give us exactly what we wish for.”

“Difficulties and struggles, defeats and victories, are very small, If he is with you, You may not see him, you may not find him, But his invisible hands are in your hands. Whether you mourn or be happy, worship him, or don't even remember him, but you always remember him. You may accept him in a moment, or use as many arguments as you can, if you can prove that he is not there, but even in making you, it is his miracle. Go as far as you can, if you get tired searching for him, don't search for him, he is always with you. He beats in your heart, but not the heart He sees through your eyes, but not the eyes He is in you, but is also separate from you, like you and your breath, he is always with you.”

“The universe is made up of one kind of matter—everything. There is no binary universe. So there is no binary body. It's a myth. We need to erase difference, embrace the idea of similarity, and recognize that similarity is not a weakening at all but a strengthening.”

“There are more molecules of water in a cup of the stuff than there are cups of water in all the world's oceans. Every cup that passes through a single person and eventually rejoins the world's water supply holds enough molecules to mix 1,500 of them into every other cup of water in the world. No way around it: some of the water you just drank passed through the kidneys of Socrates, Genghis Khan, and Joan of Arc. How about air? Also vital. A single breathful draws in more air molecules than there are breathfuls of air in Earth's entire atmosphere. That means some of the air you just breathed passed through the lungs of Napoleon, Beethoven, Lincoln, and Billy the Kid. Time to get cosmic. There are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on any beach, more stars than seconds have passed since Earth formed, more stars than words and sounds ever uttered by all the humans who ever lived.”
