“We all—adults and children, writers and readers—have an obligation to daydream. We have an obligation to imagine. It is easy to pretend that nobody can change anything, that we are in a world in which society is huge and the individual is less than nothing: an atom in a wall, a grain of rice in a rice field. But the truth is, individuals change their world over and over, individuals make the future, and they do it by imagining that things can be different.”

“老子说“无中生有”,从无中生出有,也让我们领会到另一项人生智慧:在空白处找到萌发的希望。试想,一个已经注满的杯子,怎么可以再注入清冽的甘泉?一块已经填满的土地,怎么可能长出新的大树?谁也不能从富裕走向富裕,谁也不能从胜利走向胜利。
不要害怕一无所有,因为无中蕴涵着无限可能,一无所有才能实现从无到有的胜利。”
― 清醒的老子,浪漫的庄子
