海洋是我们最伟大的老师；它教会我们韧性、适应性和协作的力量。

A writer's life is a highly vulnerable, almost naked activity. We don't have to weep about that. The writer makes his choice and is stuck with it. But it is true to say that you are open to all the winds, some of them icy indeed. You are out on your own, out on a limb. You find no shelter, no protection — unless you lie — in which case of course you have constructed your own protection and, it could be argued, become a politician.

"The silence between words is often more powerful than the words themselves."

"We are all, in some way, prisoners of our time."

"Mental life is a continuous adjustment to the environment."
