The writer isn't made in a vacuum. Writers are witnesses. The reason we need writers is because we need witnesses to this terrifying century.
作家不是在真空中造就的。作家是见证者。我们需要作家的原因是因为我们需要见证这个可怕的世纪。
The past is never dead. It's not even past.
Come,my friends,Tis not too late to seek a newer world,For my purpose holds to sail beyond the sunset，And though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven,That which we are, we are;-- One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will. To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield。
最大的安逸，就是知足乐和；最大的危险，就是多言致祸；最为可贵的，就是无欲无求；最为卑贱的，就是贪欲过多；最大的快乐，就是乐善好施；最大的痛悔，就是贪图钱财；最大的长处，就是足智多谋；最大的短处，就是自负自矜；最大的聪明，就是体察天功，最大的昏暗，就是不明征兆。
