    Prefiero ser un podría ser si no puedo ser un son porque un podría ser es un tal vez que está buscando una estrella. Prefiero ser un ha-sido que un podría-haber-sido, por mucho que un podría-haber-sido nunca ha sido, pero un ha sido una vez un ser.

    मैं एक हो सकता हूं अगर मैं एक नहीं हो सकता क्योंकि एक हो सकता है जो एक स्टार के लिए पहुंच रहा है। मैं एक हो सकता था की तुलना में एक हो गया होगा, अब तक हो सकता है कि कभी नहीं रहा हो, लेकिन एक एक बार एक था।

    నేను ఒక వ్యక్తిగా ఉండలేనట్లయితే, నేను బహుశా ఒక నక్షత్రానికి చేరుకున్న వ్యక్తి కావచ్చు. నేను ఇంతకుముందు ఎన్నడూ లేనంతగా, ఉండగలిగేదానికంటే ఎక్కువగా ఉండాలనుకుంటున్నాను, కానీ ఒకప్పుడు ఒకప్పుడు ఉండేది.

    如果我不能成為一個人,我寧願成為一個可能者,因為一個可能者是一個正在尋找明星的可能。我寧願成為一個已經過去的人,也不願成為一個可能的人,到目前為止,一個可能的人從來沒有做過,但一個曾經是曾經的。
