We are lonesome animals. We spend all our life trying to be less lonesome. One of our ancient methods is to tell a story begging the listener to say — and to feel — 'Yes, that's the way it is, or at least that's the way I feel it.'
The truth is a trap: you cannot get it without it getting you; you cannot get the truth by capturing it, only by its capturing you.
自信不是"他们会喜欢我",而是"他们不喜欢我也没关系"。
Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.
