每个人都渴望的痴迷：‘爱’。人们认为坠入爱河会使自己完整？灵魂的柏拉图式结合？我不这么认为。我认为你在开始之前就是完整的。而爱使你破碎。你本是完整的，然后你被裂开。
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 only thing that can make you a better person is yourself.
Even in the quietest lives, there is drama.
"Cada libro es un acto de fe en el poder transformador de las palabras."
The art of progress is to preserve order amid change and to preserve change amid order.
