A writer is someone who spends years patiently trying to discover the second being inside him, and the world that makes him who he is.
人生苦短，不要活在别人的梦想里。
I treat it like every day is a new challenge, and I’ve got to get better every day.
Man’s main task in life is to give birth to himself, to become what he potentially is. The most important product of his effort is his own personality.
——在北京蒙藏统一政治改良会欢迎会的演说，1912年9月1日
La literatura es un espejo que refleja la sociedad en la que vivimos.
