When you get an invitation to do something in the future， ask yourself: would you accept this if it was scheduled for tomorrow？ Not too many promises will pass that immediacy filter.

What's terrible is to pretend that second-rate is first-rate. To pretend that you don't need love when you do; or you like your work when you know quite well you're capable of better.

"We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be."

人是唯一拒绝成为自己的生物。

To write is to make a pact with silence.

永远不要停止学习，因为世界永远不会停止变化。
