"Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear."

The only obsession everyone wants: 'love.' People think that in falling in love they make themselves whole? The Platonic union of souls? I think otherwise. I think you're whole before you begin. And the love fractures you. You're whole, and then you're cracked open.

The power of literature lies in its ability to transport us to other worlds, to make us see the world through the eyes of others.

所以,掌权者的主要任务,就在于聚集天下的贤良之士罢了。
