Qu Yuan quotes
How well I know that loyalty brings disaster.
Qu Yuan
The muddy, impure world, so undiscriminating, Seeks always to hide beauty, out of jealousy.
Qu Yuan
Enough! There are no true men in the state: no one to understand me. Why should I cleave to the city of my birth? Since none is worthy to work with in making good government, I will go and join Peng Xian in the place where he abides.
Qu Yuan

Qu Yuan

Qu Yuan
