I'm mentioning all this -- I'm mentioning all this because I think this is not merely a personal problem; you may think I'm wrong in this, but I think we live in an age when our lives are regularly punctuated by career crises, by moments when what we thought we knew -- about our lives, about our careers -- comes into contact with a threatening sort of reality.

The greatest investment you can make is in yourself.

"The past is not dead ground, and to traverse it is not a sterile exercise."

不要弄乱我的圆！（据传是罗马士兵入侵时，阿基米德临终前的话）

最重要的是在你的写作中要诚实。
