我们要做海洋的守护者，而不是征服者。

A writer's life is a highly vulnerable, almost naked activity. We don't have to weep about that. The writer makes his choice and is stuck with it. But it is true to say that you are open to all the winds, some of them icy indeed. You are out on your own, out on a limb. You find no shelter, no protection — unless you lie — in which case of course you have constructed your own protection and, it could be argued, become a politician.

如果我们消灭了野性，那么我们就是在扼杀自己灵魂的一部分。

Think you're escaping and run into yourself. Longest way round is the shortest way home.

逆水行舟，不进则退。
