The act of writing is an act of defiance.

Everyone is in favor of free speech. Hardly a day passes without its being extolled， but some people's idea of it is that they are free to say what they like， but if anyone else says anything back， that is an outrage.

The sea gives and the sea takes away.

最重要的是在你的写作中要诚实。

出自晋·葛洪《抱朴子·应嘲》。虽说昆山的玉石很多，但不能救济原宪的贫穷。喻指毫无价值的空话。
