You have to think for yourself. It always amazes me how high-IQ people mindlessly imitate. I never get good ideas talking to other people.

作家必须忠于自己的真相，即使它不是别人的真相。

人或物体散发出的光环与他们的肉体一样是他们的一部分。

居处和行动都无需不必要的思虑，不私藏分别是非美恶的观念，四海之内共享利益，这才是真的喜悦；人人都得到所需物资的保障，社会就安宁。

文字是唯一永恒的东西；其他一切都会消亡。

晏子春秋

We write to remember, but also to forget.

To live without joy is the privilege of the just.

写作是在一个世界中创造另一个世界。

"The past is a ghost that refuses to leave."
