Freedom is not merely the opportunity to do as one pleases; neither is it merely the opportunity to choose between set alternatives. Freedom is, first of all, the chance to formulate the available choices, to argue over them—and then, the opportunity to choose.
自由不仅仅是随心所欲的机会；也不仅仅是在既定选项之间选择的机会。自由首先是制定可用选择的机会，对它们进行辩论——然后，才是选择的机会。
"In the act of writing, we confront our deepest fears and desires."
我不是那种会让对名声的爱减少的人。
The whole of life is just like watching a film. Only it's as though you always get in ten minutes after the big picture has started, and no-one will tell you the plot, so you have to work it out all yourself from the clues.
心灵是一个不断重组的系统。
Just pursue your own natural curiosity and solve your own problems. Learning is a byproduct of all of that.
