"History is not the story of strangers, aliens from another realm; it is the story of us had we been born a little earlier."

"You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending."
你无法回到过去改变开头，但可以从现在开始改变结局。
The world is not a wish-granting factory.
作家必须反抗一切形式的压迫，无论是显性的还是隐性的。
