The tolerance which is the life element, the token of a free society, will never be the gift of the powers that be; it can, under the prevailing conditions of tyranny by the majority, only be won in the sustained effort of radical minorities.
宽容是自由社会的生命要素和标志，永远不会是当权者的恩赐；在多数人暴政的普遍条件下，它只能通过激进少数派的持续努力赢得。
文学的美在于它能够跨越时间和空间连接我们。
我不是说唱歌手，我是一个流行明星。
Life is not a puzzle to be solved, but a story to be lived.
