The dead are never really gone, they live on in the stories we tell about them.

Get busy living or get busy dying, there are only two choices.

The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success.

我永远无法安全；我总是试图逆流而上。每当我完成一件事，我就会设定一个更高的目标。这就是我如何走到今天的位置。

Writing is a way of fighting against oblivion, against death.
