"Books are mirrors, but they are also windows."

The bond between humans and the land is fundamental to our survival.

The chief beauty about time is that you cannot waste it in advance. The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you, as perfect, as unspoiled, as if you had never wasted or misapplied a single moment in all your life. You can turn over a new leaf every hour if you choose.

"The past is always present in the stories we tell."

人生就像一场逆行的旅程，我也是其中的一个过客。

Our approach is to observe carefully before acting.
