To write a life is to walk a tightrope between fact and interpretation.

The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.

译文：教导晚辈从小就要有光明磊落的气度和形象，平日还要让晚辈反躬自省，不能没有忧患意识和自我砥砺的修养。赏析：做人一定要胸怀坦荡，正大光明，行事不可用歪门邪道的方式，只有我们做到了，才有资格去教导我们的孩子。人无完人，平日里说话做事，我们都要反思自己的言行是否得当，如果有错误，就要改正，如果做得好，就要勉励自己。

When you meet with opposition, even if it should be from your husband or your children, endeavor to overcome it by argument and not by authority, for a victory dependent upon authority is unreal and illusory.

写作是一种勇气，面对自己的恶魔。

每首歌都有自己的故事，每个故事都值得被讲述。
