"The past is never dead. It's not even past."

提醒自己快死了，是我在人生中面临重大决定时，所用过最重要的方法。因为几乎每件事－所有外界期望、所有的名声、所有对困窘或失败的恐惧－在面对死亡时，都消失了，只有最真实重要的东西才会留下。

"To write is to give oneself a chance to live many lives."

在文化的裂缝中，美丽的误解会绽放。

What we gain by experience is more real and more solid than what we gain by reasoning.

"I am not interested in the individual, but in the whole."
