A story is a gift—one that keeps giving.
发现可能性的极限的唯一方法是超越它们进入不可能。
译文:车辆在崇山峻岭中行驶看似无路,等到达山前发现有路可走,帆船在河中行走看似无法通过,等到了桥头才发现船垂直于桥下。赏析:人的一生注定是坎坷不平的,会遇到很多棘手的事,不管如何,我们都应该保持一颗平常心态,从容应对。
I think we have been through a period where too many people have been given to understand that if they have a problem, it's the government's job to cope with it. 'I have a problem, I'll get a grant.' 'I'm homeless, the government must house me.' They're casting their problem on society. And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first. It's our duty to look after ourselves and then, also to look after our neighbour. People have got the entitlements too much in mind, without the obligations.
While you invent, don't select. While you sketch, don't inspect. While you write the first draft, don't reflect.
最好的文学是那种扰乱、动摇、拒绝安慰的文学。
