旅程本身就是一个人；没有两个是相同的。所有的计划、保障、监管和强制都是徒劳的。经过多年的奋斗，我们发现我们并没有去旅行；而是旅行带走了我们。
A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us.
每一刻都是新的开始。

To write a life is to walk a tightrope between fact and interpretation.
The end of history will be a very sad time.

每一本书都是对文字变革力量的一次信仰行为。
