"Memory is a strange thing. It doesn’t work like I thought it did. We don’t remember, we rewrite memory much as history is rewritten. To remember is to remake, to reimagine."

——伦敦《每日纪事报》刊出〈孙逸仙讲述他第一次起事反抗中国皇朝之故事〉，1911年10月14日

诗人的任务是表达那些无法言说的事物。

Now, my mama always told me that miracles happen every day. Some people don't think so, but they do.

The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.

离别的人默默无语，月亮也寂静无声；明月有光辉照耀，人却有深情难诉。

我总是愿意相信每个人的最好一面；这样可以省去很多麻烦。

J'ai créé toutes les fêtes, tous les triomphes, tous les drames. J'ai essayé d'inventer de nouvelles fleurs, de nouveaux astres, de nouvelles chairs, de nouvelles langues.
