You might have realized that this “Quote of the day” section has become a large part of my website’s content. While I was picking up Chinese again in my late 30s after dropping it in my late 20s, I decided that the best way to study is to translate some quotes that I encountered into my mother tongue and English on the go.

🌱🕊️🌞 Maturity is not about moving towards complexity, but about arriving at innocence. Innocent people do not mean they have never seen the darkness of the world, it is precisely because they have seen it that they know the goodness of innocence. – Sanmao // 成熟不是为了走向复杂，而是为了抵达天真。天真的人，不代表没有见过世界的黑暗，恰恰因为见到过，才知道天真的好。 Chéngshú bùshì wèile zǒuxiàng fùzá, ér shì wèile dǐdá … Read more
