The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long the nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was. The world around it will forget even faster.
消灭一个民族的第一步是抹去它的记忆。摧毁它的书籍、文化、历史。然后让某人写新书,制造新文化,发明新历史。不久之后,这个国家就会开始忘记它是什么以及它曾经是什么。它周围的世界会忘记得更快。
I wonder how many people I've looked at all my life and never seen.
"Escribir es una forma de vivir, de respirar, de existir."
"Stories you read when you're the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called. Sometimes you'll forget precisely what happened, but if a story touches you it will stay with you, haunting the places in your mind that you rarely ever visit."
我不是疯了,我只是有创造性的疯狂。
I don’t let negativity bring me down.
