I don’t want to be better than anybody else. I just want to be better than I was yesterday.

我本人是个乐观主义者,因为做别的貌似没什么用。

Loneliness is a lifelong companion, an established fact. Instead of denying it, fighting it, and avoiding it needlessly, you’d better accept it, let it protect you from going home in the crowd, and let it accompany you to breakfast on Saturday morning and tidy up the sunshine.

I want the work to feel alive.
