"A story is a way to say something that can't be said any other way."

The speed of the leader determines the rate of the pack.

——〈体认革命历史再开新纪元〉，1924年9-10月

The truth is rarely pure and never simple.

People are not lazy. They simply have impotent goals - that is, goals that do not inspire them.

不要吹开毛发去寻找小疤痕，不要洗净污垢去察看难以知晓的毛病。

Success is built on consistency, not shortcuts.

如果谣言是真的，那我不配住在英国；如果谣言是假的，那么英国不配让我居住。
