I’m focused on what’s next, not what’s passed.

I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use—silence, exile, and cunning.

我不喜欢害怕，我喜欢无所畏惧。

In the end, all we have are the stories we tell ourselves.
