The unknown is not to be feared but to be explored.

Writing is a way of reclaiming time.

除非一个人绝对诚实地问自己在类似情况下是否可能做出同样的事，否则他不应评判他人。

I think it's merely the randomness of the winning and losing process that I want to stress, because the emphasis nowadays is so much on the justice of everything, and politicians always talk about justice. Now I'm a firm believer in justice, I just think that it's impossible. So we should do everything we can to pursue it, but we should always remember that whoever is facing us, whatever has happened in their lives, there will be a strong element of the haphazard. That's what I'm trying to leave room for; otherwise, it can get quite claustrophobic.
