生活不是我们经历的，而是我们记住的以及如何记住并讲述它。

The whole honours and pride in the world, all come from the mother.

"The soul is not a thing, it is a quality or aspect of a thing, and it is the quality of a thing that is most precious."

The act of writing is an act of hope, a belief in the power of words to change the world.
