痛苦是不可避免的，但受苦是可以选择的。

The true test of civilization is not the census, nor the size of cities, nor the crops, but the kind of man that the country turns out.

I'm not a person who likes to be ignored.

Writing is a way of holding onto moments that would otherwise disappear.

生活是一系列的时刻，有些明亮，有些黑暗，但都是必不可少的。
