The novel is the most ambitious attempt to capture the totality of life.

真相是，我们都有自己的监狱，而钥匙总是在触手可及的地方。

思想开阔，才能包容天下的千山万壑；思想谦虚，才能接受天下的真知大德；思想平明，才能纵论天下的善恶得失；思想深沉，才能讨论天下的学说哲理；思想稳定，才能应付天下的风云变幻。

Quality is not a hope; it is a result.

The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.

Quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten.

I don’t want my art to be comfortable. I want it to make people think.

我认为最好的电影是那些挑战你的电影。
