文学是一种抵抗的形式，是一种在这个试图让我们沉默的世界中说“我在这里”的方式。

每个生命都是一个值得讲述的故事，只要我们愿意花时间去倾听。

I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up DOES rejoice. Still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend.

The world is a place of the living, and the dead have no place in it. The dead are nothing. They are not even a memory.

"The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible."
