所谓以党治国，并不是要党员都做官，然后中国才可以治；是要本党的主义实行，全国人都遵守本党的主义，中国然后才可以治。简而言之，以党治国并不是用本党的党员治国，是用本党的主义治国。……如果党员的存心都以为要用党人做官，才算是以党治国，那种思想便是大错。
——《在广州中国国民党恳亲大会的演说》（1923年10月15日）
The desert teaches patience, silence, and the art of listening to the whispers of time.
Money is not my motivation. I’m driven by my passions.
建筑师必须是空间的诗人。
I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately,I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, To put to rout all that was not life, and not when I had come to die, Discover that I had not lived.
I do not wish them [women] to have power over men; but over themselves.
The novel is an art form that is always in crisis, always on the verge of disappearing, and that's what keeps it alive.
