Life is not a series of gig lamps symmetrically arranged; life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end.
生活不是一排对称的马车灯；生活是一个光晕，一个半透明的外壳，从意识的开始到结束都包围着我们。

我听说楚地有一只神龟，已死三千年了，楚王用布包好，再用竹编把它装着，藏在庙堂之上。这龟，宁愿死了尊贵地保留着骸骨呢，还是宁愿活着在泥水中摇曳着尾巴？
Art is about life and it can’t really be about anything else.
