我们
We are all just walking each other home.
The past is a shadow that follows us into the future.
The past is a story we tell ourselves about ourselves.
The dead are not dead to us until we have forgotten them.
The past is always changing, because we are always changing our relationship to it.
The dead are never far from us. They’re in our hearts and on our minds and in the end all that separates us from them is a single breath, one last puff of air.
The present is always an unstable place, the past is where we think we know where we are.
History is not the past—it is the method we have evolved of organizing our ignorance of the past.
"We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be."
"Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us."
"We are all the heroes of our own stories."
"History is not the story of strangers, aliens from another realm; it is the story of us had we been born a little earlier."
"The dead are never far from us. They're in our hearts and on our minds and in the end all that matters is love."
"The world begins at a kitchen table. No matter what, we must eat to live."
"We are all our own graveyards I believe; we squat amongst the tombs of the people we were."
Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes.
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
A good novel tells us the truth about its hero, but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author.
"The present is always invisible because it's environmental and we're fish."
"Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth."
