I once thought of merely smelling the fragrance of flowers without discussing joys or sorrows, drinking tea and reading books without racing against time. May the sunshine be a little warmer, and the days a little slower.
Hold the greatest hope, make the greatest effort, and prepare for the worst.
I must seize fate by the throat; it must never make me fully surrender.
To love someone is to understand and to forgive; to apologize and to express gratitude; to admit mistakes and to correct them; to be considerate and to be empathetic. It is to accept rather than endure, to tolerate rather than indulge, to support rather than dominate, to console rather than question, to confide rather than accuse, and to remember rather than forget. It is to communicate rather than just report every detail, and to pray silently for them rather than making endless demands. Be romantic, but do not be wasteful; do not reach out for hands too casually, and do not be careless.
Remember that refusing to let go of yesterday will only keep you stagnant.
Are you willing to let the rest of your life become a stone of wine, meeting you once in a lifetime?
No matter how well you do, there will be critics; even if you are a mess, there will be praise. Do not obsess over external judgments, do not get lost in the eyes of others, and do not distort yourself just to please the world.
Growth always requires a price, and the greatest price is often youth.
Years slip through our fingers; whether we feel it or not, we add new contours to the rings of our lives. Time never stands still, but it cycles steadily, never deviating, while what changes is our mood between then and now.
Knowing that memories are a prison and time is like leaking sand, yet I am so nostalgic that I simply cannot let go.
