Civilization is a stream with banks. The stream is sometimes filled with blood from people killing, stealing, shouting and doing the things historians usually record, while on the banks, unnoticed, people build homes, make love, raise children, sing songs, write poetry and even whittle statues. The story of civilization is the story of what happened on the banks.

Success comes when you focus on the customer, not the competition.

真正的作家永远是一个流亡者，即使在自己的国家也是如此。

我们与大地合作，而不是对抗它。
