A story is a way of making sense of the past.

The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.

过去总是与我们同在，因为它滋养着现在。

作家必须甘于失败。

The secret ingredient is always passion.

The land remembers, even when people forget.

革命道德不是从天上掉下来的。它是在日常斗争中培养，在革命活动中锤炼的。
