The only way to deal with the pain of life is to embrace it.

好名声不能轻而易举地得到，荣誉也不能以巧诈树立，君子用身心戴道而行。以身戴行，是一个成语，意为言行合一，用身心戴道而行。

Literature is a form of resistance, a weapon against injustice and oppression.

"One must be an inventor to read well. There is then creative reading as well as creative writing."

你唯一应该努力超越的人就是昨天的自己。
