Writing is making sense of life. You work your whole life and perhaps you've made sense of one small area.

译文：对国家的法律明知故犯，又怎么能侥幸逃脱法律的制裁；平白无故地侵吞别人的钱财，赔偿要比得到的增加很多倍。赏析：我们在社会上立足，要想走得长远，就要知法守法，不要知法犯法。法律是铁，谁碰谁出血；法律是钢，谁碰谁受伤。喜欢占别人便宜，都是自私自利之人，他们的行为自然招人讨厌，其结果就是因小失大。

写作是理解世界的一种方式。

The historian is a prophet looking backwards.

"The past is never dead. It's not even past."
