"To be human is to be unfinished, to be always becoming."
石材的真正价值在于我们如何改造它以供人类使用。
【译文】与人说话只能说三分,不能把内心的想法全部吐露给别人。有意栽花花不一定开放,无意去插柳柳树却可能长得茂盛。龙和虎的形态好画,却难以画出它们的骨骼。了解人的表面很容易,但了解人的内心却十分困难。
Close the door. Write with no one looking over your shoulder. Don't try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say. It's the one and only thing you have to offer.
