我是讲述者,这就是我的生活。
I'm the narrator, and this is my life.
I like the stars. It's the illusion of permanence, I think. I mean, they're always flaring up and caving in and going out. But from here, I can pretend...I can pretend that things last. I can pretend that lives last longer than moments. Gods come, and gods go. Mortals flicker and flash and fade. Worlds don't last; and stars and galaxies are transient, fleeting things that twinkle like fireflies and vanish into cold and dust. But I can pretend.
Life is a never-ending struggle between memory and forgetting.
Your time is limited, don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become.
【译文】 孔子说:“人的本性是相近的,只是习俗使人有了差别。”
Literature is the art of discovering something extraordinary about ordinary people, and saying with ordinary words something extraordinary.
重要的是旅程,而不是到达。
