盖文章，经国之大业，不朽之盛事。年寿有时而尽，荣乐止乎其身，二者必至之常期，未若文章之无穷。——曹丕：《典论·论文》

Literature is no less noble an activity than the governing of a state; it is also a way immorality. The years pass and one's life runs out its natural course. Honours and pleasures cease to be with one's body. Against these inexorable facts, literature lives on to eternity.
