What Eileen Chang said

"Red rose and white rose"
---------Maybe every man has had two such women——at least two. Marry a red rose and eventually she'll be a mosquito-blood streak smeared on the wall, while the white one is "moonlight in front of his bed." Marry a white rose, and before long she'll be a grain of sticky rice that's gotten stuck to his clothes; the red one, by then, is a scarlet beauty mark just over his heart.

也许每一个男子全都有过这样的两个女人,至少两个。娶了红玫瑰,久而久之,红的变了墙上的一抹蚊子血,白的还是"床前明月光";娶了白玫瑰,白的便是衣服上沾的一粒饭黏子,红的却是心口上一颗朱砂痣。

What they can't get is always the best. The better scenery is always elsewhere.

---------Life is dressed in colorful robes, the top covered with lice.
生命是一袭华美的袍,上面爬满了蚤子。

You have to wear it, enjoy its colorfulness, while enduring the lice on it!

--------I want you to know, there is a person in this world waiting for you forever, no matter where and no matter when. As you know, there always is a person.
我要你知道,这个世界上有一个人会永远的等着你, 无论在什么时候,无论你在什么地方,反正你知道, 总会有这样一个人。

There always is a chain ahead, too. Don't know when and where you will come across it and how long it will take to break free.

We certainly as people have a contrasting self, and within such, love reflects often times within and upon these contrast.

maybe we must be like a prism, that reflects like what is a diamond, the lights of our hearts, giving no color a preference, but reflecting light with a dazzling array across the spectrum.
