《梁书·列传·卷二十五》
我含泪哭泣而回答说： 彭祖关于死的通达义理，延吴的雅正之言，也曾经听到了；之所以没有消除生死之念，请让我陈述想法。
余雪泣而答曰： 彭殇之达义，延吴之雅言，亦常闻之矣；顾所以未能弭意者，请陈其说。
I replied with tears in my eyes: I have also heard about Peng Zu's understanding of the principles of death, and Yan Wu's elegant words about it; The reason I have not eliminated the thoughts of life and death, please let me explain my thoughts.
