Kenny同志 Posted May 21, 2010 at 11:08 AM Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 at 11:08 AM Here's one of mine. 真正的光明决不是永没有黑暗的时间，只是永不被黑暗所掩蔽罢了；真正的英雄决不是永没有卑下的情操，只是永不被卑下的情操所屈服罢了。所以在你要战胜外来的敌人之前，先得战胜你内在的敌人，你不必害怕沉沦堕落，只消你能不断的自拔与更新。 By 傅雷 What is yours? I didn't hit the SHIFT or CAPS LOCK button when I was typing the letter in the bracket. Why is it a capital S? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted May 21, 2010 at 01:06 PM Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 at 01:06 PM Must it be in Chinese? And is something from someone who is not a "reliable" writer acceptable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it would be best that your quote is in Chinese. It can be from anyone you like, not necessarily from a reliable writer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(House of Mirth, Edith Wharton) “歎人間美中不足今方信，縱然舉案齊眉，到底意難平。”(紅樓夢) “原來奼紫嫣紅開遍，似這般都付與斷井頹垣。”（牡丹亭） “太初有道，道與神同在，道就是神。”（創世記） Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny同志 Posted May 21, 2010 at 02:39 PM Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 at 02:39 PM I've sensed something sarcastic. I shouldn't have been so quick to give my two cents about nifty Chinese. Igore them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbradfor Posted May 21, 2010 at 03:38 PM Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 at 03:38 PM My favorite quote in Chinese is “不憤不啟，不悱不發，舉一隅不以三隅反，則不復也。” It pretty much sums up my approach to teaching people things. Which is why it's probably better that I did not become a Professor. :rolleyes: My other favorite one, and I don't have the original, is from I believe Zhuang Zi's. Something along the lines of. "Look of those fish, swimming so happy" "You are not a fish. How do you know what they are thinking and that they are happy?" "You are not me. How do you know I don't know how a fish thinks?" It's the last line I like. I really should find it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbradfor Posted May 21, 2010 at 07:34 PM Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 at 07:34 PM From the All Knowing Lord 庄子曰：“儵鱼出游从容，是鱼之乐也？” 惠子曰：“子非鱼，安知鱼之乐？” 庄子曰：“子非我，安知我不知鱼之乐？” 惠子曰：“我非子，固不知子矣；子固非鱼也，子之不知鱼之乐，全矣。” 庄子曰：“请循其本。子曰‘汝安知鱼乐’云者，既已知吾知之而问我。我知之濠上也。” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lingjas Posted May 27, 2010 at 01:55 PM Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 at 01:55 PM “我本楚狂人，凤歌笑孔丘”--李白 absolutely love it, although it comes from a poem. 人间的面 见一面，少一面 羊不见面马见面 佛不常见你常见 不弃生死，不离涅槃---（禁咒师）蝴蝶seba 我为人人——制造麻烦，人人为我——收拾麻烦。 人活在这个世界上，最不要紧的，就是这张脸皮了。一样脸皮，却是百样人生。笑在外面地，哭在里面；笑在里面的，哭却是在外面。这脸皮便是天下最靠不住的东西，要之何用。 世道乱了，人心散了，就算武大郎都能包养起二奶了 到了日本才知道死不认帐还会很有礼貌,到了泰国才知道见美女先别忙拥抱,到了法国才知道‘性骚扰’也会很有情调,而到了瑞士才知道,开银行账户没有十万美元都会被人嘲笑. basically this is all...
