The writer must believe that what he is doing is the most important thing in the world. And he must hold to this illusion even when he knows it is not true.
The thing about smart people is that they seem like crazy people to dumb people.
我们不讲述的故事往往是最重要的。
写作是一种不被中断的谈话方式。
【译文】 孔子说：“富和贵，人人向往，不以正当的方法得到的，不要享受；贫和贱，人人厌恶，不以正当方法摆脱的，不要逃避。君子扔掉了仁爱之心，怎么算君子？君子时刻不会违反仁道，紧急时如此，颠沛时如此。”
I can resist everything except temptation.
