Opening lines
The Tale of Kiều (1813)
Trăm năm trong cõi người ta, Chữ tài chữ mệnh khéo là ghét nhau. Trải qua một cuộc bể dâu, Những điều trông thấy mà đau đớn lòng. Lạ gì bỉ sắc tư phong, Trời xanh quen thói má hồng đánh ghen.
“Heaven on Earth is a choice you
must make, not a place you must find.”
“There’s no point in fighting the tide. It ebbs. It flows. You ride it.”

Context: The strange thing about life is that though the nature of it must have been apparent to every one for hundreds of years, no one has left any adequate account of it. The streets of London have their map; but our passions are uncharted. What are you going to meet if you turn this corner?
quoted in David Hilliard (2006) Huey: Spirit of the Panther, p. 46
