Wonderful quotes
★ Beauty is a height without cliffs, she does not oppress us, but still makes us look up; she is warm and soft, and does not prick us, but we are still hurt; she is so close to us, yet so far away from us, so looking down on us, but so rejecting us.
★ In Sima Qian's pen, there are not only tianzi, princes, loyal subjects, filial pieties, generals, scholars, but also merchants, doctors, assassins, and rangers; with this kind of vision and open-mindedness, it is possible to write a general history, including the heroes of the world, haojie, peddlers and pawns, and become a full map of human life.
