故事帮助我们理解生活的混乱。
"Stories help us make sense of the chaos of life."
To write is to resist, to resist the forces that seek to silence us, to resist the forces that seek to control us.
The end of history will be a very sad time. The struggle for recognition, the willingness to risk one's life for a purely abstract goal, the worldwide ideological struggle that called forth daring, courage, imagination, and idealism, will be replaced by economic calculation, the endless solving of technical problems, environmental concerns, and the satisfaction of sophisticated consumer demands.
