There's something in life that's a curtain, and I keep trying to raise it.

I may be ugly and clumsy, but one thing I'm not, I'm not retarded.

A story can take you through a whole process of searching, seeking, confronting, through conflicts, and then to a resolution. As the storyteller and the listener, we go through a story together.

Joy and life exist nowhere but the present.

My job is my own only land.

Long ago in China, knot-makers tied string into buttons and frogs, and rope into bell pulls. There was one knot so complicated that it blinded the knot-maker. Finally an emperor outlawed this cruel knot, and the nobles could not order it anymore. If I had lived in China, I would have been an outlaw knot-maker.

I learned to shoot more accurately because my teachers held the targets.
