"History is not what happened. History is just what historians tell us."

"Every story is a fragment of the universe trying to explain itself."

书会说：她这么做是因为。生活说：她这么做了。书是向你解释事情的地方；生活是事情没有解释的地方。

The body is not a thing, it is a situation: it is our grasp on the world and our sketch of our project.

The great epochs of our life are the occasions when we gain the courage to rebaptize our badness as the best in us.
