“Every man and woman in society has one big duty. That is, to take care of his or her own self. This is a social duty.

The truth is, you cannot prepare anyone for this, nor convey an understanding of it through language. It must be known. And this I would wish on no one in the world.”
“Intelligence is really a kind of taste: taste in ideas.”

“Whether you are inspired or not, the only way to unlock your creativity, is to start writing.”
