Thousand Autumns: Qian Qiu (Novel), Vol. 2

For the ideals I pursue within my heart, I’d not regret a thousand deaths to die.

I'm not as incredible as you think. I only want to see that man one more time, to see the disappointment on his face. Let him know that demonic core didn't take, that it didn't control me. That I'm still myself.

Dao is like water, benefiting all living things while keeping none for itself. The law of Dao is to be what it is. People who follow the law of Dao should soften their own glare and unify themselves with the ordinary. Only those who comply to the natural order of things and sense the common feelings shared among people can achieve the real Dao.

In this world there are many, many situations where giving someone something doesn't necessarily mean you'll receive anything in return. When you choose to give, you must remember this, or else the only one hurt will be you.

To know the world, one must first know themselves. Then they must forget themselves. Once they forgot both the world and themselves, never again would they be moved by worldy gains and losses.

The affairs of the past are like the waters flowing by: they cannot be returned.

For the ideals I pursue within my heart, I'd not regret a thousand deaths to die.

To know others was to know oneself, when one understood the minds of others, one would understand their own. Where the swords was, the Dao was. It was a spiritual link, drawing together the immortal's body and buddha's heart.

You didn't even cry when Yu Ai betrayed you, but now you are crying over someone you don't even know? Everything I experienced, whether they were setbacks or predicaments, were things I could endure. But this little boy... He probably never hurt anymore. The reason Heaven let him be born into this world should not be for him to suffer. Evertone has the right to live. No matter how hard life is, there should at least be hope for him to see a way out.

Shen Qiao shook his head "When it comes to worth, every heart weighs it differently. Grudges have a source, and debts a debtor, but involving innocent people should never be commended. When you don't save the people you could have, when you don't take action when you could have, a shadow lodges in your heart forever whether other people know about it - whether they'll feel grateful - that's their business.

But then he heard Yan Wushi's languid voice drift over: "I was fighting a bloody battle out there, and now I see my A-Qiao about to be seduced away! How perfectly agonizing!

There are certain things in this world that a person must do, even if they know it's impossible.

Shen Qiao was at a loss "...We're not in love with each other, and I'm not a homosexual either.

Everything he did was because he wanted to do it. It had nothing to do with whether other people understood him, approved of him, or mocked him.
