Writing is a profession for those who cannot live without writing.

性情圆融随和的人没有诡诈的神态，精明细心的人没有苛刻审查的心思，行为方正的人没有乖戾的行为，沉默的人没有陰险的手段，诚信笃实的人没有无能的牵累，光明正大的人没有肤浅的缺点，刚直的人没有性情上的偏失，果决的人没有拘泥的毛病，达练的人没有轻浮的外貌。

You can't do it all yourself. Don't be afraid to lean on others.

We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and—in spite of True Romance magazines—we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way.

【大意】要想招引游鱼就得先通水，要想招引飞鸟就得先种树。

大海不会奖赏那些过于焦虑、贪婪或急躁的人。
