我们越是靠理智生活，就越不理解生命的意义。
The more we live by our intellect, the less we understand the meaning of life.
"In the end, we are all just stories, told by others and ourselves."
"我写作是为了摧毁影子，但最终总是创造了它。"
世界不是一个需要解决的问题；它是一个我们所属的生命体。
"To create is to resist death."
Old paint on canvas, as it ages, sometimes becomes transparent. When that happens it is possible, in some pictures, to see the original lines: a tree will show through a woman's dress, a child makes way for a dog, a large boat is no longer on an open sea. That is called pentimento because the painter 'repented,' changed his mind. Perhaps it would be as well to say that the old conception, replaced by a later choice, is a way of seeing and then seeing again.
