"The power of literature lies in its ability to connect us across time and space."

最重要的是忠于自己，忠于自己的声音，忠于自己的愿景。

有的鸟终究是关不住的，因为他们的羽翼太过光辉，当他们飞走时，你会由衷的祝贺他们获享自由；然而无奈的是：你得继续在这无聊之地苟且偷生。

It's not the writer's job to tell you how to feel. It's the writer's job to tell you something and make you feel it.

真相往往存在于边缘。

Theorems are eternal; their proofs are ephemeral.

At that age， I'd take any excuse to make estimates and do minor arithmetic. I'd calculate our gas mileage -- figure out useless statistics on things like grocery spending. I'd been hearing an ad campaign about smoking. I can't remember the details， but basically the ad said， every puff of a cigarette takes some number of minutes off of your life: I think it might have been two minutes per puff. At any rate， I decided to do the math for my grandmother. I estimated the number of cigarettes per days， estimated the number of puffs per cigarette and so on. When I was satisfied that I'd come up with a reasonable number， I poked my head into the front of the car， tapped my grandmother on the shoulder， and proudly proclaimed， "At two minutes per puff， you've taken nine years off your life！"

Art is not just about aesthetics; it's a dialogue between the past and the present, a bridge between cultures.

过去是一个跟随你到任何地方的影子。
