Confucius say!When I grow up, I'm going to release an annotated anthology of the analects. It will contain such insightful comments as "ahaha!", "wtf?" and "Confucius, you prick!".[...]For a man quick with a retort, there are frequent occaisions on which he will incur the hatred of others. (V, 5) [...]A piece of rotten wood cannot be carved. (V, 10) On a day he had wept, the Master did not sing. (VII, 10) The master said, "I have yet to meet the man who is as fond of virtue as he is of beauty in women." (IV, 18) He did not converse at meals; nor did he talk in bed. (X, 10) The master said, "There are, are there not, young plants that fail to produce blossoms, and blossoms that fail to produce fruit?" (IX, 22)
