Society can and does execute its own mandates， and if it issues wrong mandates instead of right， or any mandates at all in things with which it ought not to meddle， it practices a social tyranny more formidable than many kinds of political oppression， since， though not usually upheld by such extreme penalties， it leaves fewer means of escape， penetrating much more deeply into the details of life， and enslaving the soul itself.

"The beauty of literature is that it allows us to live a thousand lives in the span of one."

The way we frame a problem can greatly influence the solutions we come up with.

The everyday is always extraordinary if you look closely enough.

The road to success is always under construction.

"写作是一种孤独的旅程，但正是这种孤独让我们更接近自己。"

I don't regret the past. It made me who I am today.
