"We are all just passing through, leaving traces of ourselves behind like footprints in the sand."
我们都只是过客，像沙滩上的脚印一样留下自己的痕迹。
我希望读者能感受到某种令人惊讶的东西——不是“发生了什么”，而是事情发生的方式。
Force has no place where there is need of skill.
Perhaps if we wrote programs from childhood on, as adults we'd be able to read them.
我绝不会再像以前一样，把命运加给我们的一点儿不幸拿来反复咀嚼(念念不忘)；我要享受现时，过去的事就让它过去吧。
