"The power of a story is that it can change the way you see the world."

A fine remedy for our anxieties over our low status in society may be to travel—whether literally or figuratively, by viewing works of art—through the gigantic spaces of the world.

The purpose of literature is to turn blood into ink.

To be an artist is to be forever curious, forever searching for new ways to see the world.

我从十五岁开始致力于学习，三十岁便能自立于社会了，四十岁对各种事理不再迷惑不解，五十岁懂得了自然界的规律，六十岁对听到的事情能领会贯通，并能辨别是非真伪，七十岁时做事能随心所欲，但又不会超出礼法的规范。
