The space between things is often more important than the things themselves.

I used to walk down the street like I was a star... I want people to walk around delusional about how great they can be - and then to fight so hard for it every day that the lie becomes the truth.

没有艺术；没有文学；没有社会；最糟糕的是，持续不断的恐惧和暴力死亡的威胁；人的生活孤独、贫困、肮脏、野蛮而短暂。

The desires， and other passions of man， in themselves， are in his own power； his real difficulties are， to know when they are to be controlled， and when not.

我不让失败定义我，我让它磨砺我。

Literature should be judged as literature, not as a social document.
