过去不是一个地方，而是一种状态。
"The past is not a place but a condition."
海洋不属于我们，我们属于海洋。
No matter how good you get you can always get better, and that's the exciting part.
"The human condition is one of perpetual dissatisfaction; we are always searching for something more."
Literature is a memory, a look back at the past.
