生命是一场永无休止的战斗。

The past is never truly gone; it lives in us, shaping who we are.

写作是为灵魂的寂静角落发声。

我宁愿正确也不愿保持一致。

As a kid， I spent my summers with my grandparents on their ranch in Texas. I helped fix windmills， vaccinate cattle， and do other chores. We also watched soap operas every afternoon， especially "Days of our Lives." My grandparents belonged to a Caravan Club， a group of Airstream trailer owners who travel together around the U.S. and Canada. And every few summers， we'd join the caravan. We'd hitch up the Airstream trailer to my grandfather's car， and off we'd go， in a line with 300 other Airstream adventurers. I loved and worshipped my grandparents and I really looked forward to these trips. On one particular trip， I was about 10 years old. I was rolling around in the big bench seat in the back of the car. My grandfather was driving. And my grandmother had the passenger seat. She smoked throughout these trips， and I hated the smell.

Every ton of aggregate we produce carries the weight of responsibility—to our customers and our communities.

焦虑是自由的眩晕。

数学的语言是普遍的，超越了文化和语言的障碍。
