The end of history will be a very sad time. The struggle for recognition, the willingness to risk one's life for a purely abstract goal, the worldwide ideological struggle that called forth daring, courage, imagination, and idealism, will be replaced by economic calculation, the endless solving of technical problems, environmental concerns, and the satisfaction of sophisticated consumer demands.
"The slow cancellation of the future has been accompanied by a deflation of expectations."
A great novel is one that changes the reader, that leaves him different after the last page.
我不想被拿来和任何人比较。我想创造自己的道路。
人心的差异,就像人的面孔一样各不相同。
