The truth is, we are all waiting for someone to take care of us. We are all waiting for someone to tell us what to do.
"The truth is, we don't know what we want until we see it."
You never know what worse luck your bad luck has saved you from.
The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.
"Silence is not the absence of something, but the presence of everything."
"We are all searching for something, but we don't always know what it is. Sometimes it's a person, sometimes it's a place, and sometimes it's just a feeling."
"We are all the sum of our memories, but what happens when those memories are erased or altered? Do we become someone else, or do we remain the same person, just with a different past?"
I want the reader to feel something is astonishing. Not the 'what happens,' but the way everything happens. These long short story fictions do this best, for me.
The complexity of things—the things within things—just seems to be endless. I mean nothing is easy, nothing is simple.
The truth is, we know so little about life, we don't really know what the good news is and what the bad news is.
"What is a hero without love for mankind?"
"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 truth is that we are all searching for something, but we don't know what it is.
"I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do."
人生は、自分で決めたことしかできない。でも、自分で決めたことは、何でもできる。
大切なのは、何を手に入れるかではなく、何を失わないかだ。
