The world is full of stories, but the stories are all one.

"Writing is a way of thinking, it's a way of working things out."

"O escritor é um ser que vive à margem, observando o mundo com olhos críticos."

释义：在探究事物的道理和实践中，要像在独处时一样谨慎自律，时刻保持警惕、戒备，防止自己的所思所为有不符合天道良知的事情，通过对私欲的严防死守和克除，实现致良知和修身的目的。

The act of writing is an act of resistance against the forces that seek to erase us.

The past is a shadow that follows us, always present, always influencing.
