When survival is the daily agenda, long-term planning becomes a luxury.

The man who believes that the secrets of the world are forever hidden lives in mystery and fear. Superstition will drag him down. The rain will erode the deeds of his life. But that man who sets himself the task of singling out the thread of order from the tapestry will by the decision alone have taken charge of the world and it is only by such taking charge that he will effect a way to dictate the terms of his own fate.

不要让自己成为别人的影子，要敢于做真实的自己。

自我只是它在成为过程中的东西。

I've always been interested in the idea of the outsider, the person who doesn't quite fit into the mainstream.

"The beauty of literature is that it allows us to live a thousand lives in one."
