The only obsession everyone wants: ‘love.’ People think that in falling in love they make themselves whole? The Platonic union of souls? I think otherwise. I think you’re whole before you begin. And the love fractures you. You’re whole, and then you’re cracked open.

译文：世俗人的感情好比一张张纸，张张都是一样薄；人世间的事情好比一盘棋，一局更比一局新。赏析：人生坎坷不平，命运沉浮变化。世态炎凉如冰，人情淡薄似纸，不过是常态而已。我们唯有学会以平常心生存，才能在得意时不张扬，失意时不消沉。
