To lose a language is to lose a way of seeing the world.
失去一种语言就是失去一种看世界的方式。
唯一真正的死亡是精神的死亡。
We all want to be told stories, and we all want to tell stories. It's one of the things that makes us human.
The gift of language is the single human trait that marks us all genetically, setting us apart from the rest of life.
I thought poetry could change everything, could change history and could humanize, and I think that the illusion is very necessary to live.
真实永远触不可及。
