Ox, at an early age a Chinese genius gazes at the path that lies ahead and reaches for a wine jar, Master Li saidIs it any wonder that our greatest men have lurched rather than walked across the landscape as they hiccuped their way into history?  (Barry Hughart Quotes) I have never been able to understand why perfectly sensible people waste time being wittily obscure instead of just saying what they want and going on about their business.  (Barry Hughart Quotes) Fable has strong shoulders that carry far more truth than fact can  (Barry Hughart Quotes) Blessed are the idiots, for they are happiest people on earth  (Barry Hughart Quotes) Our senses are woefully limited. Our brains are but tiny candles flickering in an infinity of darkness. Our only wisdom is to admit that we cannot understand, and since we cannot understand we must do the best we can with faith. which is our only talent. The greatest act of faith we are capable of is that of loving another more than we love ourselves, and occasionally we can be quite good at it  (Barry Hughart Quotes) A fool will study for twenty or thirty years and learn how to do something, but a wise man will study for twenty or thirty minutes and become an expert. In this world, it isn’t ability that counts, but authority  (Barry Hughart Quotes) I shall clasp my hands together and bow to the corners of the world. May your villages remain ignorant of tax collectors, and may your sons be many and ugly and strong and willing workers, and may your daughters be few and beautiful and excellent providers of love gifts from eminent families that live very far away, and may your lives be blessed by the beauty that has touched mine. Farewell  (Barry Hughart Quotes)
