Quote by Li Bai

“CROWS CALLING AT NIGHT Yellow clouds beside the walls; crows roosting near. Flying back, they caw, caw; calling in the boughs. In the loom she weaves brocade, the Qin river girl. Made of emerald yarn like mist, the window hides her words. She stops the shuttle, sorrowful, and thinks of the distant man. She stays alone in the lonely room, her tears just like the rain.”

Algunos recuerdos personales esperan calladamente a que la marea suba, como algas enredadas en una estaca clavada en la orilla. Si pudiesen cortar, de algunos pensamientos manaría sangre roja. Todavía me puedo permitir que mi corazón vague errante hacia algún lugar imposible.”

“It's impossible for a mind born of biology to stay strong always. You'd have to be a machine to not feel bad or sad or even devastated, when people are rude to you or criticize you. It's okay to feel bad or sad, but as long as we are moving forward, for every ten criticisms, you'll receive at least one world of appreciation or thanks.”
