我们都是自己矛盾的总和。
手书黄埔军官学校训词（中国国民党党歌词，中华民国国歌歌词）
"The writer's duty is to tell the truth, even when it is uncomfortable."
写作的行为是一种乐观的行为。
The number one organ of ridicule, nowadays, is the newspaper. If you open the newspaper any day of the week, it's full of people who've messed up their lives. They've slept with the wrong person, taken the wrong substance, passed the wrong piece of legislation -- whatever it is, and then are fit for ridicule. In other words, they have failed. And they are described as "losers." Now, is there any alternative to this? I think the Western tradition shows us one glorious alternative, which is tragedy.
即使身在远方，我们也随身携带着我们的家。
