你
The story you believe is the one that will control you.
Ignoring isn’t the same as ignorance, you have to work at it.
The only way you can write the truth is to assume that what you set down will never be read.
You don't have to understand life. You just have to live it.
The world is in a constant state of flux. Nothing remains the same from one moment to the next. You can never step into the same river twice.
The moment you stop to think about whether you love someone, you've already stopped loving that person forever.
You think it will never happen to you, that it cannot happen to you, that you are the only person in the world to whom none of these things will ever happen, and then, one by one, they all begin to happen to you, in the same way they happen to everyone else.
A book is a mirror: if an ass peers into it, you can't expect an apostle to look out.
Writing is a matter of finding a voice to listen to the voices inside you.
Happiness is holding someone in your arms and knowing you hold the whole world.
With a library you are free, not confined by temporary political climates. It is the most democratic of institutions because no one - but no one at all - can tell you what to read and when and how.
Think wrongly, if you please, but in all cases think for yourself.
The great secret that all old people share is that you really haven't changed in seventy or eighty years. Your body changes, but you don't change at all. And that, of course, causes great confusion.
What's terrible is to pretend that second-rate is first-rate. To pretend that you don't need love when you do; or you like your work when you know quite well you're capable of better.
Sometimes you have to lose yourself to find yourself.
The only way to do great work is to love what you do.
Trust is like a mirror, you can fix it if it's broken, but you can still see the crack in that motherfucker's reflection.
"To me, fearless is not the absence of fear. It's not being completely unafraid. To me, fearless is having fears. Fearless is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death."
"I think the most important thing is to surround yourself with people who push you to be better."
