"The act of writing is an act of optimism. You would not take the trouble to do it if you felt it didn't matter."
写作是一种乐观的行为。如果你觉得它不重要，你就不会费心去做。
直到某些意外事件从外部触发，人们才会突然意识到真相。
真实永远触不可及。
A man must strive to do his best, and then accept the consequences with equanimity.
If you want to be given everything, give everything up.
