"I am interested in the way that the poem can be a kind of dialogue with the reader."

I have self-doubt. I have insecurity. I have fear of failure. I have nights when I show up at the arena and I’m like, “My back hurts, my feet hurt, my knees hurt. I don’t have it. I just want to chill.” We all have self-doubt. You don’t deny it, but you also don’t capitulate to it. You embrace it.

当我们既倾听科学家又倾听农民时，真正的进步才会发生。

I’m not afraid to be different.

悲伤不会改变你，海瑟。它揭示了你。

我不必是人类才能理解生命的价值。

The task must be made difficult, for only the difficult inspires the noble-hearted.
