"At the beginning of anything out of..." - Quote by Mao Zedong

“Historical experience is written in blood and iron.”

“The differences between friends cannot but reinforce their friendship.”

“Take the ideas of the masses (scattered and unsystematic ideas) and concentrate them (through study turn them into concentrated and systematic ideas), then go to the masses and propagate and explain these ideas until the masses embrace them as their own”

“There is a coherence in things, a stability; something... is immune from change and shines out... in the face of the flowing, the fleeting, the spectral, like a ruby.”

“One of the nice things about having a lover, it makes you think about everything anew. The rest of your life becomes a kind of movie, flat and even rather funny.”

“You never know when one act, or one word of encouragement can change a life forever.”

“You can't escape your own period. Whether you take sides for or against, you're always in it.”

“Strike against war, for without you no battles can be fought.”

“The biggest disease this day and age is that of people feeling unloved.”
