真正的暴力是我们因为害怕做真实的自己而对自己施加的暴力。
The real violence is the violence we do to ourselves when we’re too afraid to be who we really are.
Conflict is the gadfly of thought. It stirs us to observation and memory. It instigates to invention. It shocks us out of sheeplike passivity, and sets us at noting and contriving.
写作是理解我们挣扎的一种方式。
I don’t have to prove anything to anyone. I only have to follow my heart and concentrate on what I want to say to the world. I run my world.
