To write is to confront the ghosts of our past, to give them a voice, and perhaps, to set them free.
最好的想法往往来自最意想不到的地方。
We're here to put a dent in the universe.
——《中国人之直言》(1920年4月3日)
The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.
We cannot choose the times, but we can choose how to respond to them.
