The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self.

最重要的是，你必须要有勇气跟随你的内心和直觉。

The most successful societies in the world are those that have been able to combine a strong state with the rule of law and democratic accountability.

作家的任务是命名那些无法命名的事物。

——〈民权主义第五讲〉，1924年4月20日

"The greatest challenge is to paint what cannot be painted."

True progress happens when we dare to question the status quo.
