写作是一种存在于世界的方式，一种观察和理解它的方式。
Writing is a way of being in the world, a way of seeing it and understanding it.
建筑关乎时间，关乎事物如何随时间变化。
Success is not accidental, but achieved through continuous effort and persistence.
改变的秘诀在于集中你所有的精力，不是对抗过去，而是建设未来。
The past beats inside me like a second heart.
The key to progress is persistence and curiosity.
“过去并不是简单地消失的东西；它是我们永远携带的东西。”
灵魂只需要一件事：做身体正在做的事。
The truth about the world, he said, is that anything is possible. Had you not seen it all from birth and thereby bled it of its strangeness it would appear to you for what it is, a hat trick in a medicine show, a fevered dream, a trance bepopulate with chimeras having neither analogue nor precedent, an itinerant carnival, a migratory tentshow whose ultimate destination after many a pitch in many a mudded field is unspeakable and calamitous beyond reckoning.
