Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes.

我一直努力忠于自己和我的价值观。

The world is a story, and we are all its characters.

成为一名作家就是在每一天的寒冷时分坐在桌前写作；而不是等待天才的蓝色火焰从胸骨中喷涌而出。

自由是对自我设定法则的服从。

"The only real elegance is in the mind; if you've got that, the rest really comes from it."

I'm mentioning all this -- I'm mentioning all this because I think this is not merely a personal problem; you may think I'm wrong in this, but I think we live in an age when our lives are regularly punctuated by career crises, by moments when what we thought we knew -- about our lives, about our careers -- comes into contact with a threatening sort of reality.

I'm a lover of life. I love life.
