Liao-zhai's Record of Wonders

“Here follows the judgment of the Chronicler of Wonders: A dead person sought to live, and a living person sought to die. Is not a human body the hardest thing to attain in this world? Yet it seems to happen that those who have such a human body always use it in such a way that they come to shamefulness that makes them in life inferior to the fox, and in simply vanishing away their death is inferior to the ghost.”

- “Lian-xiang”, from Pu Song-ling’s Liao-zhai’s Record of Wonders.
