The act of writing is an act of defiance.

The best art comes from the heart, not the mind.

在我一生中，我从未见过不经常阅读的智者——没有，一个也没有。

I'm more worried about being a good person than being the best football player in the world. When all this is over, what's left is what you've achieved; what kind of person you were.

最伟大的故事是那些揭示人类境遇的故事。
