残酷的不是这个世界，而是世界里的人。
It’s not the world that’s cruel. It’s the people in it.
The world is so unpredictable. Things happen suddenly, unexpectedly. We want to feel we are in control of our own existence. In some ways we are, in some ways we're not. We are ruled by the forces of chance and coincidence.
La memoria es el territorio de la literatura, el lugar donde todo es posible.
Don't watch the clock; do what it does. Keep going.
