我写作是为了记住，不让过去溜走。

It is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied； better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied.

People are curious. A few people are. They will be driven to find things out, even trivial things. They will put things together, knowing all along that they may be mistaken. You see them going around with notebooks, scraping the dirt off gravestones, reading microfilm, just in the hope of seeing this trickle in time, making a connection, rescuing one thing from the rubbish.

Intelligence is what you use when you don't know what to do.

我不介意犯错，我只是不想一直错下去。
