世界是如此不可预测。事情突然发生，出乎意料。我们想要感觉到我们能够控制自己的存在。

晏子春秋

The past is a place we can visit but never stay.

The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

The state of nature has a law of nature to govern it, which obliges every one: and reason, which is that law, teaches all mankind, who will but consult it, that... no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions.

写作是为了留下痕迹，为了说：我曾在这里，我存在过。
