All the good things in this world, to sum up, are nothing but the words "getting what you want". ——
“燕云旧梦,七百载,回首皆为尘土。
男儿壮志,心如铁,誓将乾坤重铸。
人事易算,天命难违,魂断江湖路。
一枕黄粱,笑看人间沉浮。
春风十里姑苏,脉脉情难诉,摇曳红烛。
竹马青梅,终敌不过,千里江山雄图。
复国重任,谁解其中苦,何处是归途?
镜花水月,一场空梦终须悟。
痴人笑语,王图霸业,如烟亦如雾。
繁华散尽,陌上依稀,记少年英武。”
——《天龙八部之慕容复》
Is it better to have had a good thing and lost it, or never to have had it? I think I get it now. ——
