The silence between the notes is as important as the notes themselves.

艺术是当你不知道该做什么时做的事情。

绘本是文字和图像之间的舞蹈——它们应该一起舞动。

我喜欢压力。我喜欢那些重要时刻。

I'm a failed poet. Maybe every novelist wants to write poetry first, finds he can't, and then tries the short story, which is the most demanding form after poetry. And, failing at that, only then does he take up novel writing.

——《建国方略·孙文学说》（1917—1919年）

The stories of the land are written in the stars, the rivers, and the trees.

That we our largest bounty may extend Where nature doth with merit challenge.
