The stories are not autobiographical, but they're personal in that way. I seem to know only the things that I've learned. Probably some things through observation, but what I feel I know surely is personal.
这些故事不是自传,但它们以那种方式是个人的。我似乎只知道我学到的东西。可能有些东西是通过观察,但我觉得我肯定知道的东西是个人的。
The past is a shadow that follows us everywhere.
Praise shames me, for I secretly beg for it。
"In Edinburgh, the shadows are long, and the secrets are deeper."
今天很残酷,明天更残酷,后天很美好,但绝大部分人死在明天晚上。
