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.

写作就是给我们的想象力的阴影注入生命。

The real is always beyond words.

The only time I feel at peace is when I’m in the water.

道，真实可信，无为且没有形相，可以流传而不可以传授，可以得到却不能够看见；自己便是本根，没有天地之前就已经存在；鬼神天帝因它而化，天地因它而生；在太极之上而不为高，在六合之下而不为深，生在天地之先而不为亘久，长于上古之时却不为老。
