I have always wanted to become a better person—more ambitious, more diligent, wiser, harder-working, more ambitious in spirit, more resilient, more patient, and also healthier and slimmer. Yet, every time I am full after a meal, I feel an overwhelming urge to sleep and tell myself: I’ll wait until tomorrow to become that better person.
Being alone, in fact, is not frightening.
To love someone means you must hate them a little; it is the hatred that makes it impossible for you to leave. — Zhang Xiaoxian, *I Have Loved You in This Life*
Some things cannot be forced. Love is a two-way street, and even unrequited love should have a limit. When that limit is reached, it is time to step away. If this path is blocked, you should consider another route rather than lingering at the crossroads. If this place does not welcome you, there will surely be a place that does.
Men pretend to be strong only out of fear that women will discover their weakness. Women pretend to be happy only out of fear that men will discover their sorrow. — Zhang Xiaoxian, *A Single Bed in the Purse*
我一直渴望成为一个更好的人——更进取，更奋发，更聪明，更勤奋，更有志气，更能吃苦，更坚韧不拔，同时也更健康、更苗条。然而，每当吃饱肚子，我总是很想睡觉，于是便对自己说：我等到明天再成为一个更好的人。
一个人的孤独，其实并不可怕。
爱一个人，是你必须有一点儿恨他，恨他令你无法离开他。 —— 张小娴《我这辈子有过你》
有些事情是不可以勉强的。恋爱是双程路，单恋也该有一条底线，到了底线，就是退出的时候。这条路行不通，你该想想另一条路，而不是在路口徘徊。这里不留人，自有留人处。
男人伪装坚强，只是害怕被女人发现他软弱。女人伪装幸福，只是害怕被男人发现她伤心。 ——张小娴 《荷包里的单人床》
"One should learn to be flexible in life."
"Why doesn’t it detour around to a dry spot?"
"Yet, shortly after, he reopened elsewhere on the same street."
"The second person saw it and said: 'This spider is so foolish. Why doesn't it climb up the dry part of the wall from the side?'"
"Transform your body into the wind, not stop it."
