Lu Xun
Lies written in ink cannot disguise facts written in blood.
Lu Xun
A woman has so many parts to her body, life is very hard indeed.
Lu Xun
I naturally believe there will be a future, but I do not waste my time imagining its radiant beauty. ... It seems to me that we ought to think first about the present.

Lu Xun
If men refuse to be kindled, sparks can only burn themselves out, just as paper images and carriages burn out on the street during funerals.
Lu Xun

Lu Xun
When the Chinese suspect someone of being a potential troublemaker, they always resort to one of two methods: they crush him, or they hoist him on a pedestal.
Lu Xun
When you talk with famous scholars, the best thing is to pretend that occasionally you do not quite understand them. If you understand too little, you will be despised if you understand too much, you will be disliked if you just fail occasionally to understand them, you will suit each other very well.
Lu Xun
As long as there shall be stones, the seeds of fire will not die.
Lu Xun
The most horrible thing is not a government that stages public executions, but a government that secretly disposes of its victims.
Lu Xun
Men who have not known the horror of death are not likely to be awed by it.
Lu Xun
Hope is like a path in the countryside. Originally, there is nothing - but as people walk this way again and again, a path appears.
Lu Xun
Creation, even when it is a mere outpouring from the heart, wishes to find a public. By definition, creation is sociable. Yet it can be satisfied with merely one single reader: an old friend, a lover.
Lu Xun
I could not blot out hope, for hope belongs to the future.
Lu Xun
