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 able to love, to share, to go 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.
独处的能力就是爱的能力。这对你来说可能看起来矛盾，但其实不是。这是一个存在的真理：只有那些能够独处的人才能爱，才能分享，才能深入另一个人的内心深处——而不占有对方，不依赖对方，不将对方物化，不对对方上瘾。
把你的心挂在袖子上不是一个好计划；你应该把它放在里面，那里它运作得最好。
The best way to predict the future is to create it.
Art should be dangerous - it should make you feel something.
译文：一杯酒下肚，试问身后的虚名又算得了什么?人间万事常常是细微如毫发的事情被看得很重，而泰山般重要的大事却被轻视。最悲伤的莫过于生离死别，最快乐的莫过于结识新的知己，这种情感古今皆同。富贵不是我追求的事，我只愿与白鸥结盟，归隐江湖。
