人們不再祇是宣示“我們的城市”，“我們的故事”，“我們的小說”，並呼喊“我們不是天使”，而是必須思考我們究竟生活在什麼樣的城市。我們不是天使，我們是什麼？人們不再祇是以文學為工具來建構“香港意識”，而且也以文學的方式反省“香港意識”的基礎和問題。

長久以來，人們普遍認為人類的能力有種種極限，儘管已經有許多科學研究證實這種觀點的錯誤，但根深蒂固的心態仍然阻礙著我們，使我們看不見許多潛藏的可能性，未能發掘與運用自己與他人的無限潛能，於是，在面對種種壓力、變革、與不確定性下，我們感到精疲力竭、黔驢技窮。不論我們多麼勤奮努力，不論我們付出多少，仍然無法達到期盼的生活與境界。其實，還有別的方法，生命可以有另一種不同的風貌。
For Monet, the act of creation was always a painful struggle. His obsession to express emotions and to transmit light effects over nature was much more intense than his contemporaries. In his words: Skills come and go... Art is always the same: a transposition of Nature that requests as much will as sensitivity. I strive and struggle against the sun... should as well paint with gold and precious stones.
