The past is never dead. It's not even past.

凡夫俗子迷失真性而追求虚妄，将智慧转化为对事物的看法，就好比水中掀起波浪，而这种看法始终受其智慧所支配，就像浪花离不开水体；圣人达士看破虚妄而回归真如，将各种看法升华为智慧，就好比波浪平息后的一潭清水，应当很好体味这种无波之水的博大精深。

艺术不应是反映的镜子，而应是锻造的铁锤。

To write is to resist the forces of forgetting.

Art should not be a luxury, but a daily necessity for everyone.

如果你没有犯错，说明你不够努力。
