有时最艰难的旅程是那些带你回到自我的旅程。

"The art of the novel is the art of being simultaneously inside and outside of things."

The truth isn't always beauty, but the hunger for it is.

Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained.

最有力的故事是那些揭示人类状况脆弱性的故事。

释义：在富贵时，朋友无数；一旦遭遇困难，却无人帮助。

We don't even know how strong we are until we are forced to bring that hidden strength forward. In times of tragedy, of war, of necessity, people do amazing things. The human capacity for survival and renewal is awesome.
