More From Hu Shih
- "What is sacred among one people may be ridiculous in another; and what is despised or rejected by one cultural group, may in a different environment become the cornerstone for a great edifice of strange grandeur and beauty."
- "Another important historical factor is the fact that this already very simple religion was further simplified and purified by the early philosophers of ancient China. Our first great philosopher was a founder of naturalism; and our second great philosopher was an agnostic."

- "Slowly poetry becomes visual because it paints images, but it is also musical: it unites two arts into one."― Eugenio Montale
- "I wake up every morning feeling lucky – which is driven by fear, no doubt, since I know it could all go away."― Natasha Richardson
