A poet can survive everything but a misprint.

南怀瑾：色一个字，不单是代表五蕴，连外面宇宙万有形形色色都包在内。……这内外两种色，都是因缘生，无自性，无实体，不可得，根本是性空。现下虽是幻有，毕竟不可得的，所以即色即空，并不是色之外另有个空。

The greatest discoveries are often the result of many small steps.

The novel is the most complete expression of human complexity.

Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of intelligent effort.

如果你不相信自己，别人也不会相信你。
