建筑不是关于风格，而是关于实质。

2012年莫言诺贝尔文学奖演讲稿

我一直对创造不存在的世界这个想法着迷。

The writer’s mission is to be a witness to his time, to speak for those who cannot speak.

"We are all prisoners of our own perceptions, but through writing, we can find the key to our freedom."

"Books are the way that we communicate with the dead. The way that we learn lessons from those who are no longer with us, that humanity has built on itself, progressed, made knowledge incremental rather than something that has to be relearned, over and over."
