I hate politics. I like to write about it, but to get involved in it, to try and make a lot of ignorant people do what you want them to do, waste of time. Go and write a book. It's more important and it'll last longer.

  • -- Wilbur Smith 威尔伯·史密斯

我讨厌政治。我喜欢写这方面的文章,但要参与其中,让很多无知的人做你想让他们做的事,是在浪费时间。去写一本书。这更重要,也更持久。
