Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.
大多数人都不是自己。他们的思想是别人的意见,他们的生活是模仿别人的生活,他们的恋爱只是引述。
The writer of originality, unless dead, is always shocking, scandalous; novelty disturbs and repels.
有独创性的作家,除非死了,否则总是令人震惊、令人愤慨的;新奇的事物会扰乱和排斥。
I'm not a superstar, I'm just a man who sings for the stars.
No matter how hard it is, we will never give up.

At a restaurant do you order what you know is great, or do you try something new? Do you make what you know will sell or try something new? Do you keep dating new folks or try to commit to someone you already met? The optimal balance for exploring new things vs exploiting them once found is: 1/3. Spend 1/3 of your time on exploring and 2/3 time on deepening. It is harder to devote time to exploring as you age because it seems unproductive, but aim for 1/3.
