A good novel tells us the truth about its characters; a great novel tells us the truth about ourselves.

"The truth of a life lies not in the grand events, but in the quiet moments in between."

The poet is a man who looks at the world and sees it as it is, but also as it could be.

生命是用来度过的，不是用来节省的。

孔子说：“君子帮助人取得成绩，不促使人陷入失败。小人相反。”

We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and—in spite of True Romance magazines—we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way.
