"The colony is the place where the project of a new humanity is to be tested, where the dream of a world without borders is to be realized, where the dream of a world without races is to be realized, where the dream of a world without nations is to be realized, where the dream of a world without classes is to be realized, where the dream of a world without genders is to be realized, where the dream of a world without religions is to be realized, where the dream of a world without money is to be realized, where the dream of a world without property is to be realized."

《致陈新政及南洋同志书》（1914年6月15日）

"文学的力量在于它能够让我们看到自己无法直接体验的生活。"

我是一个偶尔喝酒的人，那种出去喝杯啤酒然后在新加坡醒来时满脸胡须的人。

最重要的是要有纪律性的方法。

当你观察得足够久时，平凡就会变得非凡。

无法达成的目标才是我的目标，迂回曲折的路才是我想走的路。
