The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don't make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can't take their eyes off you.

The novel is a mirror walking down the road.

羞耻是最私密的情感，却将我们所有人联系在一起。

失去一种语言就是失去一种看世界的方式。
