The past is never dead. It's not even past.

You wanna fly, you got to give up the shit that weighs you down.

The historian’s task is to understand the past, the novelist’s to make it live.

The more we love our friends， the less we flatter them； it is by excusing nothing that pure love shows itself.

The best way to solve a problem is to think about it in a different way.

文学和科学相比，的确没什么用处，但文学最大的用处，也许就是它没有用处。
