"Randomized experiments are the gold standard for causal inference, but they are not always feasible."

我写作是为了不消失，为了在这个抹去一切的世界留下痕迹。

Quality should never be compromised for short-term gains.

"Art is the only refuge from the chaos of the world, a place where we can find meaning and beauty."

写作就是重写。

——抵日本神户时谈话，1895年11月12日

We live in a world of shadows, and what we call reality is only the shadow of a shadow.

你说我当你一回女儿，连让你高兴一次都没做过。

In every person, there is an abyss. Sometimes you look into it, and sometimes you don’t.
