Writing is a way of making sense of the world, and of making sense of ourselves.

我会告诉你我会做什么和不会做什么。我不会再为我所不再相信的东西服务，无论它自称是我的家、我的祖国还是我的教会：我将尽力以某种生活或艺术的方式自由而完整地表达自己，用我允许自己使用的唯一武器来保护自己——沉默、流放和狡黠。

I don't know. Sometimes when I feel about to cry, it often evolves into an impulse to almost laugh. That must have been how I really felt at the time, because I laughed, almost giggled.

"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment."

乐趣不在于拥有这个人。乐趣在于此。在房间里与另一个竞争者在一起。
