The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long the nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was.

唯一的罪过是平庸。

"A writer’s job is to pay attention to the world."

创新不是闭门造车，而是站在巨人的肩膀上再进一步。
