I do not like proper novels. In proper novels people say things like, ‘I am veined with iron, with silver and with streaks of common mud. I cannot contract into the firm fist which those clench who do not depend on stimulus.’ What does this mean? I do not know. Nor does Father. Nor do the people who write these books.

The past is a cupboard full of light and all you have to do is find the key that opens the door.

Never let age be a barrier to learning or discovery.

生活本身就是最精彩的童话。
