如果你无法飞翔，那就奔跑；如果你无法奔跑，那就快走；如果你无法快走，那就爬行。但无论如何，你必须继续前进。

If you can't fly then run， if you can't run then walk， if you can't walk then crawl， but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.

马丁·路德·金

作家的生活是高度脆弱、几乎赤裸的活动。我们不必为此哭泣。作家做出了选择并坚持它。但可以说，你向所有的风敞开，其中一些确实冰冷。你独自一人，处于危险之中。你找不到庇护，没有保护——除非你撒谎——在这种情况下，你当然已经构建了自己的保护，可以说，成为了一个政治家。

A writer's life is a highly vulnerable, almost naked activity. We don't have to weep about that. The writer makes his choice and is stuck with it. But it is true to say that you are open to all the winds, some of them icy indeed. You are out on your own, out on a limb. You find no shelter, no protection — unless you lie — in which case of course you have constructed your own protection and, it could be argued, become a politician.

萨尔曼·鲁西迪

"Memory is a complicated thing, a relative to truth, but not its twin."

记忆是复杂的东西，是真相的亲戚，但不是它的双胞胎。

朱莉娅·格拉斯

幸福在于自主自足之中。

亚里士多德

沉默就常常是必要的，沉默可以通向有声有形的语言所不能到达的地方，就像浪，舒缓下来，感悟到了水的深阔、水对浪的包容、水于浪永久的梦想意义。

史铁生

若争小可，便失大道。

周希陶

The most important thing in architecture is to create a sense of place, a feeling that you belong there.

建筑中最重要的是创造场所感，一种你属于那里的感觉。
