The past is a place of reference, not a place of residence.
过去是参考的地方,不是居住的地方。

写作是让看不见的东西变得可见的一种方式。
Art belongs to everybody and nobody. Art belongs to all time and no time. Art belongs to those who create it and those who savor it. Art no more belongs to the people or the time than it belongs to the critics or the collectors.
——《大总统复参议会论国旗函》,1912年2月3日
