一个伟大的故事是那种在你读完很久之后仍陪伴着你的故事。

The only obsession everyone wants: ‘love.’ People think that in falling in love they make themselves whole? The Platonic union of souls? I think otherwise. I think you’re whole before you begin. And the love fractures you. You’re whole, and then you’re cracked open.

The happiest people don’t have the best of everything; they make the best of everything.

所以,天地不夸耀自己的明亮,大水不夸耀自己的清澈,大火不夸耀自己的炎烈,有德之君不夸耀自己德行的高远,这样才能做众人的。

I have now taken a serious task upon myself and I fear a greater one than is in the power of any man to perform.
