I constantly see people rise in life who are not the smartest, sometimes not even the most diligent, but they are learning machines. They go to bed every night a little wiser than they were when they got up.

生活对我们任何人来说都不容易。但那又怎样？我们必须有毅力，最重要的是对自己有信心。

We are all broken, that's how the light gets in.

Writing is an act of freedom, a way to break the chains that bind us to the mundane.
