Ocean & Mt. Forever

And that is why I am here. I chose to come here rather than stay away. I chose to see for myself rather than not to see. I chose to speak to you rather than to say nothing.
這就是我來到這裡的原因。我選擇親臨此地，而不是逃避。我選擇來看一看，而非遮蔽雙眼，我選擇在這裡向大家說幾句話，而非沉默。

Please do allow me to deliver a message, one very personal message. It is something that I always keep in mind while I am writing fiction.

請允許我在這裡向你們傳遞一則訊息，是一個屬於我個人的訊息。在我寫小說時我總是在心裡牢記，但我從來都不會把它寫成備忘錄貼在牆壁，因為我已將其鐫刻在心靈之牆。它是這麼寫的：

“Between a high, solid wall and an egg that breaks against it, I will always stand on the side of the egg.”
“在一座高聳堅固的牆和與之碰撞的雞蛋兩者間，我永遠都站在雞蛋那一側”。
