True progress happens when we step out of our comfort zones and embrace change.

The saddest thing about love is that not only that it cannot last forever, but that heartbreak is soon forgotten.

"The act of creation is an act of resistance against the chaos of the world."

"Writing is the closest thing we have to real magic."

The human mind is not just a passive recorder of reality but an active constructor of it.

La vie est une rose dont chaque pétale est une illusion et chaque épine une réalité.

【译文】 孔子说：“富和贵，人人向往，不以正当的方法得到的，不要享受；贫和贱，人人厌恶，不以正当方法摆脱的，不要逃避。君子扔掉了仁爱之心，怎么算君子？君子时刻不会违反仁道，紧急时如此，颠沛时如此。”
