Tales of Ming Courtesans Quotes

“Look at the flowing water. Water is humble. It always heads to a low point. Water is soft, formless and flexible. It slides meekly and wittily around rocks, and it nurtures the plants on the sides. That way, it is content and it sings. If you are humble, wise and nurturing like water, you will not feel shame. You will have peace.”
― Alice Poon, Tales of Ming Courtesans

“Happiness is like a slippery eel. It is hard enough to catch and even harder to hold onto.”
― Alice Poon, Tales of Ming Courtesans

“Time rushes forward and never back, oblivious of human joy or pain. We cannot but be driven by the tide of life.”
― Alice Poon, Tales of Ming Courtesans
