The novel is not a genre, but a form of thought.
天下的老百姓如果都向上统一于天子,而不向上统一于天的意志,那么灾祸就还没有完全离去。
Take one simple thing — almost anything — but take it extremely seriously, as if it was the only thing in the world, or maybe the entire world is in it — and by taking it seriously you’ll light up the sky.
The novel is the art of the possible impossible.
