乐观是一种可以学习的技能。

My past is my motivation.

我拒绝接受人类的末日。

I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use—silence, exile, and cunning.

"A man's memory might have only a hundred clear days in it and he has lived thousands."

The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.
