The more you know, the more you suffer.

The idea that we will make a society where literally everybody is graded, the good at the top, bad at the bottom, exactly done as it should be, is impossible. There are simply too many random factors: accidents, accidents of birth, accidents of things dropping on people's heads, illnesses, etc. We will never get to grade them, never get to grade people as they should.

当你最认为困难的时候，其实就是你最接近成功的时候。

There is no solitude in the world like that of the big city.

小说是一种不受事实约束却能讲述真相的方式。
