我从田径中学到的竞争艺术就是忘记的艺术,我现在提醒自己这一点。你必须忘记你的极限,你必须忘记你的疑虑、你的痛苦、你的过去。
The art of competing, I’d learned from track, was the art of forgetting, and I now reminded myself of that fact. You must forget your limits. You must forget your doubts, your pain, your past.
The greatest education in the world is watching the masters at work.
The role of the writer is to bear witness, to tell the stories that need to be told, to give voice to the voiceless.
The artist is the brother of the criminal and the madman.
I’m a firm believer in the theory that you only get out what you put in.
你无法预先把点点滴滴串连起来,只有在回顾时才能明白它们是如何联系在一起的。
Life has no meaning a priori. It is up to you to give it a meaning.
