Reverence for truth is the highest praise for wisdom.
So given a Time Turner, I would tell my 21-year-old self that personal happiness lies in knowing that life is not a check-list of acquisition or achievement. Your qualifications, your CV, are not your life, though you will meet many people of my age and older who confuse the two. Life is difficult, and complicated, and beyond anyone’s total control, and the humility to know that will enable you to survive its vicissitudes.
每一个写下的词都是一个勇敢的行为，一个存在的宣言。
——1964年瑞佛尼亚审判法庭陈述
Life is like a song, with highs and lows, what matters is how you perform it.
The only way to be a writer is to write.
