我写作是为了记住，不让过去溜走。
I write to remember, to not let the past slip away.

"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all."
The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration.
The human mind is a machine for self-deception; we see what we want to see.
