Quotes by Cao Xueqin (?)

“The cunning waste their pains;
The wise men vex their brains;
But the simpleton, who seeks no gains,
With belly full, he wanders free
As drifting boat upon the sea.”
― Cao Xueqin, The Story of the Stone, or The Dream of the Red Chamber, Vol. 1: The Golden Days

“Truth becomes fiction when the fiction's true;
Real becomes not-real where the unreal's real.”

“Truth becomes fiction when the fiction's true. Real becomes Not-Real when the Unreal's Real.”
