The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.

Security is always excessive until it's not enough.

译文：人生不能过于安逸闲散，有了可以不断追求的事业，才能收回安逸之心。日用花费必须要节俭，只有杜绝奢靡，才能彰显勤俭的美德。赏析：生于忧患死于安乐。逸豫可以亡身，忧劳可以兴国。一个人过于安逸，就会无所事事，丧失斗志。一粥一饭当思来之不易，半丝半缕恒念物力维艰。

文学是个人与普遍之间的桥梁。

"Life on a lifeboat isn't much of a life. It is like an end game in chess, a game with few pieces. The elements couldn't be more simple, nor the stakes higher."
