The problem is, if you really believe in a society where those who merit to get to the top, get to the top, you'll also, by implication, and in a far more nasty way, believe in a society where those who deserve to get to the bottom also get to the bottom and stay there. I nother words, your position in life comes to seem not accidental, but merited and deserved. And that makes failure seem much more crushing.

一切都是旧的。没有别的。曾经尝试过，曾经失败过。没关系。再试一次。再失败一次。失败得更好一点。

文学是进入更广阔生活的护照。
