Possibly because I've lived so much of my life in difficult circumstances, I think I have a more profound understanding of life.

In general I love to eat anything. I enjoy anything that is well prepared, a good spaghetti, lasagna, taco, steak, sushi, refried beans.

I have a lot of cooking tools. In fact I have a whole drawer full of knives. Cooking tools, especially cutlery, are my toys.

Chinese culture has a lot of virtues that are tremendously valuable to not only us as Asian-Americans, but also the world in general.

People who don't travel cannot have a global view, all they see is what's in front of them. Those people cannot accept new things because all they know is where they live.

Why is America such a great country. It is because we stand united.

I am also well aware that literature only has a minimal influence on political disputes or economic crises in the world, but its significance to human beings is ancient.

I die a little everyday, in trying to revive what I lost yesterday!

I survive at the edge of friends circles.

Oak, granite, Lilies by the road, Remember me?I remember you.Clouds brushingClover hills, Remember me?Sister, child, Grown tall, Remember me?I remember you.

Caricatured as navel-gazers, Millennials are said to live for their 'likes' and status updates. But the young people I know often leverage social media in selfless ways.

I am ready to reject all belief and reasoning, and can look upon no opinion even as more probable or likely than another.

We bring a deeper commitment to our happiness when we fully understand, that our time left is limited and we really need to make it count.

For men are not equal: thus speaks justice.

Mark! Where his carnage and his conquests cease, He makes a solitude and calls it-peace!

This is classic when you begin thinking about what is a great founder is, you navigate what is apparent paradoxes.

We would rather be ruined than changed. We would rather die in our dread than climb the cross of the moment and let our illusions die.
