We thought that we had the answers, it was the questions we had wrong.
我们以为我们拥有答案,其实是我们问错了问题。
自由是一种当你看着它时会变化的东西,就像森林近距离看时树木茂密,但从外面,从空旷的草地上看,你看到它的真正界限。自由与锁链或你的笼子有多宽无关。
I'm not going to be perfect, but I'm going to be me.
不要在你累的时候停下来。在你完成的时候停下来。
I'm not going to change who I am just because you don't like it.
写作是理解我们希望的一种方式。
Don't live for others, live for yourself.
The self is not something ready-made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action.
As a kid, I spent my summers with my grandparents on their ranch in Texas. I helped fix windmills, vaccinate cattle, and do other chores. We also watched soap operas every afternoon, especially "Days of our Lives." My grandparents belonged to a Caravan Club, a group of Airstream trailer owners who travel together around the U.S. and Canada. And every few summers, we'd join the caravan. We'd hitch up the Airstream trailer to my grandfather's car, and off we'd go, in a line with 300 other Airstream adventurers. I loved and worshipped my grandparents and I really looked forward to these trips. On one particular trip, I was about 10 years old. I was rolling around in the big bench seat in the back of the car. My grandfather was driving. And my grandmother had the passenger seat. She smoked throughout these trips, and I hated the smell.
