I do not like proper novels. In proper novels people say things like, ‘I am veined with iron, with silver and with streaks of common mud. I cannot contract into the firm fist which those clench who do not depend on stimulus.’ What does this mean? I do not know. Nor does Father. Nor do the people who write these books.

如果你不改变自己，就会被别人改变。

——1993年诺贝尔和平奖演讲

我不像他们，但我可以假装。

Faith is the light that guides me through the darkness.
