"A novel is a machine for thinking, a way of exploring the world without leaving your chair."

过度捕捞是从子孙后代那里偷窃——我们必须成为制止它的一代。

——〈在香港大学的演说〉（又名〈革命思想之产生〉），1923年2月19日

To tax the larger incomes at a higher percentage than the smaller， is to lay a tax on industry and economy； to impose a penalty on people for having worked harder and saved more than their neighbors.
