自己
The universe is not outside of you. Look inside yourself; everything that you want, you already are.
The city is not just a place, it's a living organism with its own memory.
I do not decide to represent anything except myself. But that self is full of collective memory.
"A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself. Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people."
"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment."
"Exile is not just a geographical concept. You can be an exile in your homeland, in your own house, in a room."
The greatest victory is the victory over oneself.
The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.
"Every city has its own secret rhythm, and those who listen can hear its stories."
The first duty of a man is to think for himself.
We do not see things as they are; we see them as we are.
The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.
"The first draft is just you telling yourself the story."
"The first draft is just you telling yourself the story."
"Jeder hat seine eigene Geschichte, aber nicht jeder kann sie erzählen."
We are all trapped by our own narratives.
Fiction allows us to live multiple lives, to see through eyes not our own.
The only obsession everyone wants: 'love.' People think that in falling in love they make themselves whole? The Platonic union of souls? I think otherwise. I think you're whole before you begin. And the love fractures you. You're whole, and then you're cracked open.
I like the idea that every life has its own rhythm, that people are not simply points moving through time.
