“He was conscious that something in [his] personality bolstered his confidence and allowed him to rest, to seek peace and find it. He never game a name to it, and never spoke of it. And never, never would he have allowed himself or anyone to call it – love”

“He had never disagreed with anyone in his life, no matter how unfairly they may have treated him.”
On the character Chueh-hsin (Juexin), in Family (1931)
Context: He had never disagreed with anyone in his life, no matter how unfairly they may have treated him. He preferred to swallow his tears, suppress his anger and bitterness; he would bear anything rather than oppose a person directly. Nor did it ever occur to him to wonder whether this forbearance might not be harmful to others.
Letter to A.N. Pleshcheev (October 25, 1888)
