Independence I have long considered as the grand blessing of life, the basis of every virtue.

一切都在流动，一切都在变化，没有永恒不变的东西。

Energy and persistence conquer all things.

"The beauty of literature is that it allows us to live a thousand lives in the span of one."

最大的风险是不冒任何风险……在一个变化非常快的世界里，唯一注定失败的策略就是不冒险。
