"Thought exists to serve action, not merely to reflect reality."

古往今来的平庸之人，都是因为懒惰而失败；古往今来的有才之人，都是因为骄傲而失败。

I think of my pile of old paperbacks, their pages gone wobbly, like they’d once belonged to the sea.

We must keep learning to keep up with the times.

We were the people who were not in the papers. We lived in the blank white spaces at the edges of print. It gave us more freedom. We lived in the gaps between the stories.

Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.
