生命
Life is too short to drink bad wine or read bad books.
We all owe death a life.
The city is not just a place, it's a living organism with its own memory.
"A writer must be a thief of lives."
"A story is a living thing; it grows with each telling."
"To create is to breathe life into the lifeless."
You think when you wake up in the mornin yesterday don't count. But yesterday is all that does count. What else is there? Your life is made out of the days it's made out of. Nothin else.
I like the idea that every life has its own rhythm, that people are not simply points moving through time.
Life is a thousand-petaled lotus; by refusing to bloom, I also refuse to wither.
Life is a gorgeous robe, crawling with fleas.
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
"The city’s poor are like the roots of a tree; unseen, but essential to its life."
We die. That may be the meaning of life. But we do language. That may be the measure of our lives.
