Writing is a way of talking without being interrupted.
I never write Metropolis for seven cents because I can get the same price for city. I never write policeman because I can get the same money for cop.
了解这个世界就是爱它,而爱它就是为它哀伤。
天下的根本在于国家,国家的根本在于家庭,家庭的根本在于个人。
We live in an age that reads too much to be wise, and thinks too much to be beautiful.
【译文】得到恩惠很深时应及早退出身来,春风得意时要及时罢休。千万不要等到是非传入耳内,致使过去的恩爱变成怨仇。
