小说是伟大的现代史诗，因为它可以容纳一切：诗歌、历史、哲学、政治。

The artist must be a philosopher, a poet, and above all, a revolutionary.

生命的历史是变化的历史。

The world is full of stories, but only some of them get told.

We must bridge the gap between academic research and industrial application.

The purpose of art is to disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed.
