Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

The idea that we will make a society where literally everybody is graded, the good at the top, bad at the bottom, exactly done as it should be, is impossible. There are simply too many random factors: accidents, accidents of birth, accidents of things dropping on people's heads, illnesses, etc. We will never get to grade them, never get to grade people as they should.

对最强烈冲突的克服，使我们获得一种稳定超然的安全与宁静感。要获得有益而持久的心理安全与宁静，所需要的正是这种强烈冲突的大暴发。

"A story untold is a life unlived; through narratives, we give meaning to our existence."
