Quotes by Ba Jin  (?)

“Not yet. I don't know what I'm so happy about. But it doesn't matter whether Ma agrees or not. I can make my own decisions. I'm a person, the same as the rest of you.”
Pa Chin, Family

“Nor I, I don't think there could be a situation like that. Love is shining and righteous; there's nothing hidden about it. If a man 's heart is really ardent, how can he give the appearance of being cold and disinterested?”
Pa Chin, Family

“Only by not forgetting the past can we be the master of the future.”
Ba Jin
