"Love is or it ain't. Thin love ain't love at all."
愛就是愛，否則就不是愛。淺薄的愛根本不算愛。
"We die. That may be the meaning of life. But we do language. That may be the measure of our lives."
"We die. That may be the meaning of life. But we do language. That may be the measure of our lives."
我們會(huì)死。那可能是生命的意義。但我們創(chuàng)造語言。那可能是衡量我們生命的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。

"If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it."

The past is always there, but it's not the only thing that's there.
過去永遠(yuǎn)在那里，但它不是唯一存在的東西。
If you surrendered to the air, you could ride it.
You are your best thing.
