"Remember, from the beginning of history till now, we have had only one society: a society based on the law of the jungle." Kaizong wanted to bring up more evidence for his position, but he knew, deep down, that Uncle Chen had a better handle on the truth. It wasn't a truth written down in books, but something rooted deeply in the soil, tested by blood and fire."-Chen Qiufan, Waste Tide
"So selfish. Chen Kaizong's first response upon hearing the elder's soliloquy was disgust. He knew very well how people were exploited and oppressed. This was a common theme throughout history: take any group of people- it didn't matter if they were of different races or compatriots- some always set themselves apart as a higher class, and, in the name of gods, the nation, or 'progress,' made laws and constructed rules that allowed them to dominate the lives of the other classes, to own their bodies as well as their spirits."-Chen Qiufan, Waste Tide
