法律不仅仅是主权者的任意命令，而是人民共同意识的表达。

I don't let failure define me. I let it refine me.

艺术不是手艺，它是艺术家所体验的情感的传递。

A picture held us captive. And we could not get outside it, for it lay in our language and language seemed to repeat it to us inexorably.

The value of literature lies in its ability to let us experience others' lives and thus better understand ourselves.

I would like to be remembered as someone who was able to help people realize their dreams.
