"The world is a game, but the rules are unfair."

The work of art is a map of the soul.

The story of my upbringing is the story of how a half-baked Indian is made.

I used to walk down the street like I was a star... I want people to walk around delusional about how great they can be - and then to fight so hard for it every day that the lie becomes the truth.

People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, 'Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner.' I don't try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.

译文：谋求功业，什么时候都不会晚，就算羊跑了再补圈也来得及；羡慕别人，自己没有实际的行动，只会一事无成。与其站在岸边羡慕别人捕鱼，不如自己回家织补渔网。赏析：不管做什么事，只要我们愿意拿出行动去做，都会有收获。犯错不可怕，可怕的是我们不善于从中吸取教训，以至于错上加错。羡慕别人没有错，但我们不能空想，要脚踏实地，迈出步伐，才能有结果。

我不是为读者写作；我是为自己写作。

You can't power a nation on wishful thinking.
