To write is to resist, to fight against the forces that seek to silence us, to assert our humanity in the face of dehumanization.
写作就是抵抗，对抗那些试图让我们沉默的力量，在非人化的面前坚持我们的人性。
小说让我们得以体验多重人生，透过不属于自己的眼睛看世界。
译文：昨天还看见花开，今天就看见花落。花开花落本是无情的自然规律，别怪夜里风雨太狠——人生也是这样无常。
译文：志向不能不高远，志向不高元，就会被世俗所污染，不会有大作为；心气不能太大，心气过高，就会好高骛远，难有作为。赏析：做人要立志高远，志向远大，目标才明确，但做事不能好高骛远，眼高手低，否则，事情就会半途而废。大事做不来，小事不愿意做，是很多人通病。一个人的成功都是从小事做起，做基层做起，只有厚积才能薄发。
