城市是一个活生生的东西，总是在变化，又总是一样。

Structures should grow, not be imposed.

"I suppose it's like the Titanic. The iceberg was real, but the ship was just a ship."

"The task of the writer is to make the invisible visible."

People are afraid to pursue their most important dreams, because they feel that they don't deserve them, or that they'll be unable to achieve them. We, their hearts, become fearful just thinking of loved ones who go away forever, or of moments that could have been good but weren't, or of treasures that might have been found but were forever hidden in the sands.

我不是说唱歌手，我是一个创造历史的人。

The act of writing is an act of love and resistance.
