我们
Every journey is a search for the self, even when we think we are running away.
Reality is not something we perceive, but something we create with our stories.
We are all fragments, not only of ourselves but of each other.
The real is always more than we can say.
The world is a dream we share.
The world is a language we have forgotten how to speak.
The world is a story we tell ourselves.
The world is full of signs, but we have forgotten how to read them.
Poetry is the medium through which we confront our own solitude.
We look at the world once, in childhood. The rest is memory.
The books we read are as important as the friends we keep.
The stories we tell about ourselves are as important as the lives we lead.
History is not the past. It is the present. We carry our history with us.
We tell stories to live, and we live to tell stories.
Memory is the only paradise from which we cannot be driven.
The truth is not in the facts, but in the way we remember them.
Shame is the most intimate feeling, yet it connects us all.
We are all strangers, even to ourselves.
To love is to lose, and yet we love anyway.
We do not own our memories; they own us.
