"The writer's task is to listen to the whispers of the world and give them a voice."
作家的任务是倾听世界的低语并赋予它们声音。
子张问:“什么是五种美德?”孔子说:“君子对人民施加恩惠,却不耗费财用;使百姓劳苦,百姓却无怨言;自己有所欲求却不贪婪;安宁矜持却不骄横;威严却不凶猛。”……子张又说:“什么是四种恶行?”孔子说:“事先不经教育,犯了罪就杀头叫做肆虐;不先告诫便要求有成效,这叫粗暴;发布命令迟缓,却突然限期完成,这叫残害人;同是给人赏赐,却出手吝啬,这叫只进不出的财务衙门。
Innovation isn't about reinventing the wheel; it's about making the wheel roll smoother and faster.
缺席之于爱情,犹如风之于火;它熄灭小火,却助长大火。
不要施小恩惠而伤害整体,更不可以公济私。以常情宽恕别人,以道理约束自己。
To write is to carve words into the flesh of time.
