Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success.

过程即艺术，成品只是证据。

"The world is a shadow, and the shadow is a game."

The most powerful art is that which makes us uncomfortable, that forces us to confront what we'd rather ignore.

The problem is, if you really believe in a society where those who merit to get to the top, get to the top, you'll also, by implication, and in a far more nasty way, believe in a society where those who deserve to get to the bottom also get to the bottom and stay there. I nother words, your position in life comes to seem not accidental, but merited and deserved. And that makes failure seem much more crushing.

The secret of life is to appreciate the pleasure of being terribly, terribly deceived.
