写作是一种抵抗的方式，是保持记忆鲜活的方式。
The world is so unpredictable. Things happen suddenly, unexpectedly. We want to feel we are in control of our own existence. In some ways we are, in some ways we're not. We are ruled by the forces of chance and coincidence.
The act of painting is an act of transcendence.
The good society is one in which virtue pays.
