The end of history will be a very sad time. The struggle for recognition, the willingness to risk one's life for a purely abstract goal, the worldwide ideological struggle that called forth daring, courage, imagination, and idealism, will be replaced by economic calculation, the endless solving of technical problems, environmental concerns, and the satisfaction of sophisticated consumer demands.

生命是肮脏的、野蛮的和短暂的。

The best is yet to be, the last of life, for which the first was made.

写作是一种抵抗，是保持记忆和身份鲜活的方式。
