Literature is the expression of a feeling of deprivation, a recourse against a sense of something missing.
The world is so unpredictable. Things happen suddenly, unexpectedly. We want to feel we are in control of our own existence.
The most dangerous of all falsehoods is a slightly distorted truth.
【译文】树应该遗憾自己的枝上长不出叶子,不要抱怨太阳偏心眼。人的一切都是命中注定的,一星半点也由不得自己。
