युआन मेइ

Quotes

• “I've ever thought it passing oddHow all men reverence some God,And wear their lives out for his sakeAnd bow their heads until they ache.'Tis clear to me the Gods are madeOf the same stuff as wind or shade. ...Ah! if they came to every caller,I'd be the very loudest bawler!”
• “If I can rejoice for a moment,Death at an early age would still be a long life.”
