The dragon book Quotes

“After lunch - one short nap:
On waking up - two cups of tea.
Raising my head, I see the sun's light
Once again slanting to the south-west.
Those who are happy regret the shortness of the day;
Those who are sad tire of the year's sloth.
But those whose hearts are devoid of joy or sadness
Just go on living, regardless of 'short' or 'long'.

-After Lunch”
― Po Chü-i, The dragon book

“After three days without reading, talk becomes flavourless.

- Chinese Proverb”
― E.D. Edwards, The dragon book
