Yang Wenli — memorable quote from Legend of the Galactic Heroes

“Isn't the foolishness of the few a more precious commodity than the wisdom of the masses? There are those who were born human but harbor wishes that man was not meant for and have renounced their humanity in its pursuit.”

“Don’t you know the saying ‘Man proposes; God disposes’ ? First, you do your best and then fate will decide how it will turn out.”

“There are two kinds of arrogance. One where you are unequal to the task and one where your dreams are too big. The former is commonplace stupidity... but the latter is a rare species that is difficult to find.”

“So because you think you got the ending, you're giving up on viewing the whole play? Even though it could still lead to a climax that you weren't able to predict?”

“Seasons change just like the passing of time. We all have out destines and then we must move. That's they way it has always been.”
