"A novel is a conversation between the writer and the reader, across time and space."
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.
我总是愿意相信每个人的最好一面;这样可以省去很多麻烦。
