tell me what kind of person you want to be

The school tells you that you want to be a person who has ideals and morals...contributes to society. Your parents tell you that you want to be a successful person with a well-paying job and social status. A country that preaches democracy tells you that you want to be what you are, a liberal democracy, a person who has the supreme power according to the needs of his heart. Your subconscious mind tells you that you want to be a person who is healthy, has a carefree life, and is free from mental and physical problems. You told me I wanted to be him. I tell you, I want to be you. Social value is often a common pursuit, divided into unpopular and popular; personal value is one's own decision and has nothing to do with others. Fan Jinzhong cites social values, while Tao Yuanming's personal pursuits. No matter what, deep down, we still want to be someone else or someone we will never be able to achieve. Every little person began to bow his head in the face of fate. Others seem to represent a better future that they did not have. Every little person will also find himself trapped in a quagmire with no way out.

    If you are too young and fresh, I will be indifferent

    The British version of deep love and rain? Especially the scene where the two reunited in a run near the harbour at the end is deja vu. If the two are not together, the heroine will still marry an officer. Wouldn't it be better to leave a book at the end?

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society quotes

  • Juliet Ashton: [Writing] Dear Mr. Adams, I am so pleased your letter found me and that my book found you. Perhaps there is some secret sort of homing instincts in books that brings them to their perfect readers. How delightful if that were true.

  • Sidney Stark: We have to write about them.

    Juliet Ashton: I can't. I promised I wouldn't.

    Sidney Stark: I realize that Juliet. But this is your story to tell. As sure as I am sitting here. And you will not be right until you do... Now, Elizabeth for better or worse, couldn't help but follow her heart. You must do the same.

    Juliet Ashton: I am afraid. What if I am not a good enough writer?

    Sidney Stark: She doubts. She doesn't believe. She craves being taken seriously, but then, she won't do that for herself.
