"Books are the keys to imagination, and imagination is the key to the future."

智者抵抗快乐，愚者成为快乐的奴隶。

Always stay curious and open to new ideas.

And I hope you will come back here to Harvard 30 years from now and reflect on what you have done with your talent and your energy. I hope you will judge yourselves not on your professional accomplishments alone, but also on how well you have addressed the world's deepest inequities…on how well you treated people a world away who have nothing in common with you but their humanity.

小说不仅仅是一个故事；它是一个建构的物体，一种必须尽可能完美的艺术技巧。

You don't know what's in store, but you know what you're here for.
