小说是一面反映社会的镜子，包括所有的光明和阴影。

Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.

写作就是踏上一段进入未知的旅程，每一个词都是踏入未知领域的一步。

No arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.

Everything is what it is， and not another thing.

翻译：君子说话要谨慎，饮食要节制。
