"Memory is a strange thing, it doesn't work like I thought it did. We are so used to thinking of it as a camera or a tape recorder, but it's not like that at all. It's more like a painter, who adds and subtracts elements according to his own rules."

真相很少是简单的，而且往往比我们对自己说的谎言更痛苦。

田野荒芜废弃，人民也将由此而惰怠；君主挥霍无度，则人民胡作妄为。
