All children have to be deceived if they are to grow up without trauma.
When I got to 40 or so... I had the sense when I looked back over my life I would actually see a mess of decisions, a few of which I had thought about, some of which I had sort of stumbled on, and many that I had no control over whatsoever.
Don’t you wonder sometimes, what might have happened if you tried?
If you are under the impression you have already perfected yourself, you will never rise to the heights you are no doubt capable of.
Memory, I realize, can be an unreliable thing; often it is heavily coloured by the circumstances in which one remembers.
Memories, even your most precious ones, fade surprisingly quickly. But I don’t go along with that. The memories I value most, I don’t ever see them fading.
Love isn't about when you first meet. It's about the many, many years you spend together, when you're trying to keep that flame burning.
所有儿童都应被善意地欺骗,认为成长的过程没有伤痛。
我四十而立之时,总觉得,当回顾我的一生,我会看到一系列的决定,一些是我仔细思考后作出的,一些是我无意而为的,还有很多是我根本无法掌控的。
有时候,你会不会想,如果当初试一试会怎样?
如果你感到自己已经很完美了,那么你永远不会达到你本可以达到的高度。
