写作是一种理解世界的方式，即使世界本身没有意义。
"Writing is a way of making sense of the world, even when it doesn't make sense."
I was born to win, but in order to win I gotta be willing to lose.
The act of writing is an act of courage, to face the truths within and around us.
任何一样东西，你渴望拥有它，它就盛开。一旦你拥有它，它就凋谢。
I'm drawn to a lovely quote by St. Augustine in "The City of God," where he says, "It's a sin to judge any man by his post." In modern English that would mean it's a sinto come to any view of who you should talk to, dependent on their business card. It's not the post that should count. According to St. Augustine, only God can really put everybody in their place; he's going to do that on the Day of Judgment, with angels and trumpets, and the skies will open. Insane idea, if you're a secularist person, like me. But something very valuable in that idea, nevertheless.
