We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. Medicine, law, business, engineering: these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love...these are what we stay alive for.

热情很常见。持久力很罕见。

Every day is a new opportunity to change your life.

When you're responsible for feeding families, every decision carries weight.

Writing is a way of preserving the ephemeral.

我们不是从经验中学习……我们是从对经验的反思中学习。
