A ship in port is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.

The only obsession everyone wants: ‘love.’ People think that in falling in love they make themselves whole? The Platonic union of souls? I think otherwise. I think you’re whole before you begin. And the love fractures you. You’re whole, and then you’re cracked open.

成为英雄的最大障碍是怀疑自己是否会证明自己是个傻瓜；真正的英雄主义是抵制这种怀疑；最深刻的智慧是知道何时应该抵制，何时应该服从。

聪明的人戒太明察，刚强的人戒太暴躁，温和的人戒优柔寡断。

我认为保持脚踏实地并记住你来自哪里是很重要的。
