"The novel is a form of exploration, a way of asking questions that don't have answers."

"The grind never stops."

虽然熟读了《诗经》三百篇，但让他去处理政事，却办不好；派他出使国外，却不能独立地根据具体情况应对自如；这样的人，读的即使再多，又有什么用处呢？

翻译：处在上位不骄傲，处在下位不忧愁。

The world is so full of simple, obvious, and beautiful things that it's a wonder anyone ever bothers to invent anything at all.

"The future is about making the impossible possible."

身体会记住头脑试图遗忘的事情。
