The stories are not autobiographical, but they're personal in that way. I seem to know only the things that I've learned. Probably some things through observation, but what I feel I know surely is personal.
这些故事不是自传，但它们以那种方式是个人的。我似乎只知道我学到的东西。可能有些东西是通过观察，但我觉得我肯定知道的东西是个人的。
我从来都不是天生的，我所做的只是不断尝试。
"The only real prison is fear, and the only real freedom is freedom from fear."
I’m not a political person, but I’m a person.
人是生而自由的，但却无往不在枷锁之中。
The past is not static; it evolves with our understanding.
Stories you read when you're the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called. Sometimes you'll forget precisely what happened, but if a story touches you it will stay with you, haunting the places in your mind that you rarely ever visit.
