The ability to be alone is the ability to love. It may look paradoxical to you, but it’s not. It is an existential truth: only those who can be alone are capable of love, of sharing, of going into the deepest core of another human being—without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without reducing the other to a thing, and without becoming addicted to the other.

人生要开心，否则只会痛苦。

"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."

Creativity is not about originality; it’s about honesty.
