——在柏林墙演说
The growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs. ― George Eliot, Middlemarch
To know that one does not write for the other, to know that these things I am going to write will never make me loved by the one I love.
Objects have always been carried, sold, bartered, stolen, retrieved and lost. People have always given things to other people.
The important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle.
