We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. Medicine, law, business, engineering: these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love...these are what we stay alive for.

不要害怕失败，要害怕不去尝试。

没有强大的团队，再好的想法也会失败。

文学和科学相比，的确没什么用处，但文学最大的用处，也许就是它没有用处。
