我们
"We are all just walking each other home."
"The past is always with us, whether we acknowledge it or not."
"Identity is a story we tell ourselves, and sometimes we have to rewrite it."
"The stories we tell shape who we are."
"We are all the same, but we are all different."
"Sometimes we get sad about things and we don’t like to tell other people that we are sad about them."
Sometimes we get sad about things and we don’t like to tell other people that we are sad about them. We like to keep it a secret. Or sometimes, we are sad but we really don’t know why we are sad, so we say we aren’t sad but we really are.
The heart may think it knows better: the senses know that absence blots people out. We have really no absent friends.
Memory is what we thought we’d forgotten; it’s also what we thought we’d remember.
We live in time—it holds us and moulds us—but I’ve never felt I understood it very well.
How often do we tell our own life story? How often do we adjust, embellish, make sly cuts? And the longer life goes on, the fewer are those around to challenge our account, to remind us that our life is not our life, merely the story we have told about our life.
"The best stories are those that resonate with our own experiences, yet take us somewhere new."
"Don't write down to children. They're much smarter than we think."
