...where I read Ken Liu's The Dandelion Prophecy

Favorite quotes:

A man’s legacy is a hard thing to foresee, especially when passions still run hot, and it is so much easier ill than well.

--Kuni Garu to Luan Zya

I cannot say that I’m a good man, only that I’m a man who tried to do good. I like to believe that the people will remember me fondly but I also I know that the legacies of men cannot be foreseen during their lifetimes. I do not know if I’m the man who will complete the task you dream of, for that is a question that must be asked of our descendants in a thousand years.

--Kuni Garu to Luan Zya
