你
"Love is a kind of pain. If you don’t feel pain, it’s not love."
"Happiness is holding someone in your arms and knowing you hold the whole world."
"The measure of a good book is whether it makes you think, feel, and see the world differently."
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.
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.
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.
Think wrongly, if you please, but in all cases, think for yourself.
That is what learning is. You suddenly understand something you've understood all your life, but in a new way.
Whatever you're meant to do, do it now. The conditions are always impossible.
You are your best thing.
If you surrendered to the air, you could ride it.
You wanna fly, you got to give up the shit that weighs you down.
If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.
People can be divided into these types: strangers, acquaintances, familiar people, friends, and close friends. True friendship isn't about compliments to your face, but whether you're mentioned when they talk about friends behind your back.
