21世纪被一种压倒性的有限性和疲惫感所压迫。
"The 21st century is oppressed by a crushing sense of finitude and exhaustion."
The chief beauty about time is that you cannot waste it in advance. The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you, as perfect, as unspoiled, as if you had never wasted or misapplied a single moment in all your life. You can turn over a new leaf every hour if you choose.
【译文】 孔子说：“树立崇高理想、培养高尚品德、心怀仁慈友爱、陶冶高雅情操。”
作家必须是他或她时代的见证者，必须见证世界的不公和苦难。
