资本主义现实主义坚持将心理健康视为一种自然事实，就像天气一样（顺便说一句，许多人的心理健康在冬季恶化并非巧合）。
"Capitalist realism insists on treating mental health as if it were a natural fact, like weather (and, incidentally, it is no coincidence that the mental health of so many deteriorates during the winter months)."
写作是一种抵抗，是在日益冰冷的世界中保持人性火焰不灭的方式。
Never underestimate the power of a simple idea.
"Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose, or paint can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic and fear which is inherent in a human situation."
This is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a whimper.
译文：纵欲放荡、消极怠慢就不能勉励心志使精神振作，冒险草率、急躁不安就不能修养性情。赏析：我们要是一直沉迷于物质享受，贪图享乐，做任何事就会消极懈怠。做事草率鲁莽，浮浮躁躁的，事情也会难以成功。
My past doesn't define me, it's just part of my story.
