The highest manifestation of life consists in this: that a being governs its own actions. A thing which is always subject to the direction of another is somewhat of a dead thing.

The deepest theorems often have the simplest proofs - if you look at them from the right angle.

写作是让过去成为现在的一种方式。

"The only thing that makes life possible is permanent, intolerable uncertainty; not knowing what comes next."

逃脱历史重负的唯一方法就是书写它。
