The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long the nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was. The world around it will forget even faster.
真理是所有伟大艺术的基础。

People, even more than things, have to be restored, revived, reclaimed and redeemed;never throw out anyone.
The writer must be a witness to history, even if history ignores him.
