We are all patchworks of our experiences, memories, and the stories we tell ourselves.

宇宙、天地，有它自然的运行规律，是持久不变的，不会以人的意志为转移，它既不会因为有像尧那样的仁德君主而存在，也不会因为有像夏桀那样残暴的君主而消失。顺应自然规律来治理国家，就会获得吉祥；如果违背自然规律，就会招来灾难。

The poor have no choice but to be honest. The rich can afford to be dishonest.

Fiction allows us to live multiple lives, to see through eyes not our own.

I like to think of myself as a normal person who just happens to be able to sing.
