要做痴情种不做摆渡人
[yào zuò chī qíng zhŏng bù zuò băi dù rén]
A romantic declaration indicating one's preference to be intensely in love (a passionate lover) rather than an uninvolved bystander or mediator in others' love lives (a ferryman). This conveys a desire to immerse deeply into matters of the heart as opposed to simply observing them.
