Who can leap the world's ties and sit with me among white clouds?

Where I come from, one wrong look, one improper word, and blood is spilled. Where I come from, a woman's face is her husband's business only.

There are no peaceful resentments, there can only be peaceful resolutions.

Hence no force, however great, can stretch a cord, however fine, into a horizontal line which is accurately straight: there will always be a bending downwards.

It is a test of true theories not only to account for but to predict phenomena.
