历史是一场我试图从中醒来的噩梦。

The void is as important as the solid.

Fiction is the truth inside the lie.

The essence of great furniture lies in its ability to tell a story.

Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.

传记作者的任务是复活过去，而非评判它。

I have learned to seek my happiness by limiting my desires， rather than in attempting to satisfy them.
