Different people Quote by Cixin Liu
““That's right. Different people see things differently. The inhabitants of World III said it was a happy paradise - though I don't know if they still think that way. After the light tomb was completed, it was impossible for any message from that world to reach outside. But I think people there are pretty happy. For some people, safety is the sin qua non for happiness.””
