You are not stuck where you are unless you decide to be.

I don't do anything unless I feel like I can be the best at it.

"To read is to travel without moving, to live a thousand lives in one."

The world is so unpredictable. Things happen suddenly, unexpectedly. We want to feel we are in control of our own existence.

Literature isn't a moral beauty contest.

【译文】 孔子说：“不懂得客观规律，就不能做君子；不懂得道德规范，就无法建功立业；不懂得分辨言论，就不能了解人。”
