没有道德或不道德的书，只有写得好或写得差的书。

Not necessarily your mother, or indeed mine, but, as it were, the ideal mother, somebody who doesn't care about your achievements. Unfortunately, most people are not our mothers. Most people make a strict correlation between how much time, and if you like, love -- not romantic love, though that may be something -- but love in general, respect --they are willing to accord us, that will be strictly defined by our position in the social hierarchy.

I don’t care about money. I just want to be happy.

我不认为有极限。

我们生来孤独，死时孤独，尽管有浪漫杂志的渲染，终有一天回望人生时会发现，即便有人相伴，我们始终孤独。
