Some people go to priests; others to poetry; I to my friends.
I am made and remade continually. Different people draw different words from me.
Nothing has really happened until it has been recorded.
Life is not a series of gig lamps symmetrically arranged; life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end.
Growing up is losing some illusions, in order to acquire others.
成长就是丢掉一些幻想，以便获得另一些。
Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman.
To enjoy freedom we have to control ourselves.
The eyes of others our prisons; their thoughts our cages.
It is far more difficult to murder a phantom than a reality.
If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people.
As a woman I have no country. As a woman my country is the whole world.
作为一个女人，我没有国家；作为一个女人，我的国家是整个世界。
Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.
Writing is like sex. First you do it for love, then you do it for your friends, and then you do it for money.
写作就像性爱。首先你为爱而做，然后为朋友而做，最后为钱而做。
Nothing has really happened until it has been recorded.
在被记录之前，什么都没有真正发生过。
The beauty of the world has two edges, one of laughter, one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder.
As a woman I have no country. As a woman I want no country. As a woman my country is the whole world.
