In "Yanzhi", the author candidly states: "Women are ultimately just women. Over time, emotions tend to overflow and sprout, potentially leading to heartbreak. Women often harbor delusions, always hoping to elevate the relationship. Whether it starts with a one-night stand, cohabitation, or a casual encounter, the end goal is invariably to grow old together. Truly carefree women are rare; they always try to extract something from men."
Maugham wrote in "The Moon and Sixpence": "We should do one or two things we dislike every day, in order to keep the peace of our souls."
Chi Ji wrote in "The Time of Tiptoeing": "One day you will emerge from the cocoon, growing more beautiful than people expect. But the process will be painful, hard, and sometimes discouraging. Facing the surging reality, you may feel insignificant and powerless. But this, too, is part of life. Do what you can do now, and then everything will be fine. We will all grow up in loneliness. Do not be afraid."
Hong Ying revealed in "The English Lover": "You are afraid of love. Whoever loves you, you hurt. You are wasting time while life passes by. Only when I cease to exist will you feel the terror of my absence. I was originally part of your life. To reject me is to reject yourself."
Annie Baby advised in "Su Nian Jin Shi": "Rather than being bustling and eye-catching, pressing forward step by step, it is better to become a real and natural person in the crowd. Do not be ostentatious, do not be deceptive, and always keep a retreating position. With a settled heart, just focus on doing things."
Yan Geling sighed in "The Flowers of War": "People in the world are probably inseparable yet never fully connected. When A needs B, it is exactly when B is emotionally self-sufficient and least willing to be disturbed. And when B needs companionship and comfort, that need becomes a pure burden for A. Untimely companionship and communication become annoying interruptions. To avoid being disturbed, do not accept others' companionship. People are not together because they fit perfectly, but because they cannot be separated."
Lijuan wrote in "My Altay": "Pain is something that should naturally be kept deep in the heart, and sorrow is something that must be actively restrained. Injuries and dececeptions received must ultimately be forgiven; those who are indifferent are not heartless. The quietest and loneliest growth is also what makes a person solid, confident, strong, and kind. In the worst case, just stick out your tongue."
