"In the end, we are all just stories. What matters is how we tell them."

理解一个国家的首要条件是去闻闻它的气味。

如果使人们喜怒无常，居处不定，思虑不得要领，行事中途就乱了章法；那么，天下间就会出现各种不平与不合理，而后像盗拓或者曾参、史鳅做的那些事情，都会发生。

生活的目的是活着，而活着意味着意识到，快乐地、陶醉地、平静地、神圣地意识到。

比主动遗忘更痛苦的，是被动记住。

The greatest stories are those that challenge us to grow.

Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.
