Agricultural modernization is not simply mechanization, but to let farmers truly master technology and farm with wisdom.

我不在乎你对我的评价，只要那不是真的。

Never get involved in a land war in Asia.

The novel is a very democratic form. It allows for the expression of many voices, many points of view.

That's exhilarating if you're doing well, and very crushing if you're not. It leads, in the worst cases -- in the analysis of a sociologist like Emil Durkheim -- it leads to increased rates of suicide. There are more suicides in developed, individualistic countries than in any other part of the world. And some of the reason for that is that people take what happens to them extremely personally -- they own their success, but they also own their failure.
