Close the door. Write with no one looking over your shoulder. Don't try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say. It's the one and only thing you have to offer.
关上门。写作时不要让别人看着你的肩膀。不要试图弄清楚别人想从你这里听到什么;弄清楚你要说什么。这是你唯一能提供的东西。
一个民族的文化是一组文本的集合,而这些文本本身也是集合,人类学家努力从这些文本的真正拥有者的肩膀上方去阅读它们。
在愿望和现实之间,世界静静等待。
The future belongs to those who prepare for it today.
