写作是一种自由的行为，是表达无法表达之物的方式。

Literature is the record of human experience.

译文：忍让一时就会风平浪静，退让一步就会海阔天空。赏析：我们要看透人间事，不必去和别人争输赢，较高下，该忍让时就认怂，该退步时就妥协。学会忍让和退步，其实也是一种生活智慧，也是一种生存之道。

She's simply too strange. We can't relate to her, she speaks in a funny way, she comes from an odd place. So we can't relate to her, and when you can't relate to somebody, you don't envy them. The closer two people are -- in age, in background, in the process of identification -- the more there's a danger of envy, which is incidentally why none of you should ever go to a school reunion, because there is no stronger reference point than people one was at school with.
