We are all patchworks of our experiences, memories, and the stories we tell ourselves.

我不是说唱歌手，我是一个写作的传奇。

"In der Literatur geht es nicht darum, Antworten zu geben, sondern Fragen zu stellen."

——凯文·史密斯回忆与斯图尔特的合作经历。

It has always seemed strange to me... 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. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.
