"The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."

我不喜欢被仅仅标记为一件事。

"In the end, it's not the facts that matter, but the truths we uncover through them."

But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads?

Is there any relief from some of thesepressures that I've been outlining? I think there is. I just want to turn to afew of them. Let's take meritocracy. This idea that everybody deserves to getwhere they get to, I think it's a crazy idea, completely crazy. I will support any politician of Left and Right, with any halfway-decent meritocratic idea; I am a meritocrat in that sense. But I think it's insane to believe that we will ever make a society that is genuinely meritocratic; it's an impossible dream.

我一直认为写作是一种思考的方式，而不仅仅是表达思想的方式。
