A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

知识永远是一个程度的问题:你不能把手指放在最简单的数据上，然后说我们知道这一点。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
No matter how close to personal experience a story might be, inevitably you are going to get to a part that isn't yours and, actually, whether it happened or not becomes irrelevant. It is all about choosing the right words.

Sometimes, no matter how much faith we have, we lose people. But never forget them. And sometimes, it's those memories that give us the faith to go on.
