我们
We are all characters in a story we did not write.
We are all trapped in the web of language, but it is also our only means of escape.
We live in an age of narrative complexity, where the stories we tell are as intricate as the lives we lead.
We are all haunted by the ghosts of our own pasts, and sometimes, by the ghosts of others.
We are all patchwork, and so shapeless and diverse in composition that each bit, each moment, plays its own game.
Reading is a form of prayer, a guided meditation that momentarily makes us believe we're someone else.
"The past is always with us, and it shapes who we are."
"In the end, we are all stories."
We feel free when we escape – even if it be but from the frying pan to the fire.
The truth is, we are all capable of terrible things. But we are also capable of great kindness.
History is not the past. It is the method we have evolved of organizing our ignorance of the past.
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.
We live in a world where people are judged by their worst actions, not their best.
History isn't what happened. History is just what historians tell us.
"In literature, we find the truth of our own existence."
"The best stories are those that make us question our own lives."
"In the end, we are all just stories."
"The beauty of literature is that it allows us to live a thousand lives."
