Truly talented people are always kind, frank, frank, never reserved; Their sarcasm is just a mental game, not aimed at other people's pride.
-- Balzac, "Disillusionment"
Burying feelings too deeply can sometimes be a bad thing. If a woman hides her feelings for the man she loves, she may lose the chance to get him.
-- Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Why don't we pour a bottle of wine, put the rest of your life miserable, warm and soft drink down, so will be a lifetime.
Afraid of the long road.
Take the scenery step by step,
There is a further step of joy.
Happiness, on the road.
As we get older, we believe less and less. It's the same as tooth wear. It's not cynical, it's not paranoid, it's just worn out.
-- Haruki Murakami, The End of the World and Grim Wonderland
