Writing is a way to survive the unspeakable.

So what I want to argue for is not that we should give up on our ideas of success, but we should make sure that they are our own. We should focus in on our ideas, and make sure that we own them; that we are truly the authors of our own ambitions. Because it's bad enough not getting what you want, but it's even worse to have an idea of what it is you want, and find out, at the end of the journey, that it isn't, in fact, what you wanted all along.

大多数人害怕变化，但如果你把它看成是某种你总是可以依赖的东西的话，那它就能成为一种安慰。世上你能依赖的东西并不是很多。
