You build your life around the fact that you are going to die, and then you don’t die.

时间不会流逝，流逝的是我们穿越时间的我们。

My motto has always been: A career open to all talents, without distinctions of birth.

I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use—silence, exile, and cunning.

世界是我自身的镜子，而我是世界的镜子。
