The relation between what we see and what we know is never settled.

Feelings are the subjective aspect of mental processes.

We die containing a richness of lovers and tribes, tastes we have swallowed, bodies we have plunged into and swum up as if rivers of wisdom, characters we have climbed into as if trees, fears we have hidden in as if caves.

Writing is a way of being, a way of existing in the world.

To be human is to be in the world, and to be in the world is to be in time.

真正的发现之旅不在于寻找新的景观，而在于拥有新的眼光。

凡事不能只看表面现象。钓鱼人虽然躬着身子，并不是因为对鱼恭敬；捕捉老鼠的人，把虫子留给老鼠吃，并不是因为喜爱老鼠。

过去总是紧张的，未来是完美的。

我不是画我所见，而是画我所理解。
