引述 :『现在这两个Blog的风格、布局和内容架构几乎完全一样，涵盖本地新闻、孩子、户外、家庭及一个叫做“IMHO(恕我直言)”估计是用来表达想法和意见的栏目，只在具体栏目的名称上有小差别，比如同为关于家庭生活的分类，却被分别叫做“HOMEFRONT”和“The Stoop”。』

引述 :『加州下周起將開始發結婚證書給同性戀夫妻。加州的這項舉動引起了很多社會學者的注意，他們認為同性戀伴侶之間如何處理「關係」，其實可以做為異性戀夫妻的參考，尤其是他們如何分享權利與義務的方式。 很多人認為同性關係無法持久，這是一項錯誤的迷思，因為並沒有考量到同性之間的關係無法被社會以及法律認可的壓力，這對同性關係的影響很大。 』

引述 :『Communist Party rule has been good for Tibetans in a material sense. Herdsmen now use motorcycles to round up their yaks, electricity and satellite television are common, and education is spreading. Tibetans are manifestly better off than in my previous visits, yet unhappiness is growing along with incomes.』

引述 :『BEIJING — China called on Tuesday for an international investigation of the Dalai Lama, accusing him of masterminding the violent Tibetan protests spreading across China, but the Tibetan religious leader denied those claims and invited observers to scour his office.』

引述 :『上午，方軍在Newsweek的首頁上看到了下面這個《紐約時報》的網頁廣告。看起來，儼然是他們在新媒體時代的宣言：「All the news that's fit to.... print, stream, blog, digitize, archive, broadcast, debate, e-mail, remix, critique, feed, ..., click.」』

引述 :『Whether in music or in fiction, the most basic thing is rhythm. Your style needs to have good, natural, steady rhythm, or people won’t keep reading your work. I learned the importance of rhythm from music — and mainly from jazz. Next comes melody — which, in literature, means the appropriate arrangement of the words to match the rhythm. If the way the words fit the rhythm is smooth and beautiful, you can’t ask for anything more. Next is harmony — the internal mental sounds that support the words. Then comes the part I like best: free improvisation. Through some special channel, the story comes welling out freely from inside. All I have to do is get into the flow. Finally comes what may be the most important thing: that high you experience upon completing a work — upon ending your “performance” and feeling you have succeeded in reaching a place that is new and meaningful. And if all goes well, you get to share that sense of elevation with your readers (your audience). That is a marvelous culmination that can be achieved in no other way.』
