我们听到的言语是我们没有听到的东西的指示。它是一种必要的回避,一种暴力、狡猾、痛苦或嘲笑的烟幕,使对方保持在它的位置。
The speech we hear is an indication of that which we don't hear. It is a necessary avoidance, a violent, sly, anguished or mocking smokescreen which keeps the other in its place.
人は誰でも、自分だけの物語を持っている。
You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait. Do not even wait, be quite still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
"The best novels are those that make you feel less alone in the world."
A gentleman is one who puts more into the world than he takes out.
