  • Quote

    The phrase "after-life" was also vaguely confused with going to church and not wanting to be dead - a perplexity which can be omitted from a narrative in which I am doing my best to confine myself to actual happenings. At the age of twenty-two I believed myself to be unextinguishable.

  • Quote

    Once he has outgrown his youth, a man will rarely remain a prisoner to his insolence. He had thought it was the only way to behave; then he suddenly discovers that, even for a prince, there are such things as music, literature, not to speak of standing for the post of deputy.

  • Quote

    Hạnh phúc hay không, đã không còn quan trọng. Có thể đi đến cùng hay không, cũng không còn gì đáng nói. Khi thề đoạn tuyệt với hồng trần, cô đã dự định không quay lại nữa. Gia thế hiển hách, quý tộc sa sút, quá khứ rạng rỡ, đều chỉ như nước chảy bèo trôi. Những người dốc hết tâm tư để mưu tính kết cục cho bản thân kia, kỳ thực lại sớm bị vận mệnh sắp đặt. Chẳng thà làm một người nhạt nhẽo, dù cho thế sự bãi bể hóa nương dâu, ta vẫn ung dung, chẳng đau chẳng buồn.
