The best stories are those that linger in the mind long after the last page is turned.

I am interested in the way people lie to themselves, the stories they tell themselves to make life bearable.

The world is always right. In its judgments, it is always right. Because it is the world.

有时沉默比言语更有力。

【译文】力气单薄就不要去背负重物，说话没分量就不要规劝别人。没有钱就不要到人群中去，遇到危难千万别去求亲戚。
