The past is always changing. It is not fixed. The past is not stable.

The most important thing is to tell a good story. Everything else is secondary.

What I seek is the obliteration of the self, merging with the universe.

拿古代的情况作标准来看今天的事情，这是对今天不正确的看法；拿今天的情况要求古人，这是不正确的历史观。此言时代不同，社会情况就会不同，因此考察古今，论定古今人物或事件，都不能持相同的标准，而必须结合不同情势具体对待。

The only thing that makes life possible is permanent, intolerable uncertainty; not knowing what comes next.

我不想成为超级明星。我想成为一个超级人。
