"Jeder Mensch hat seine eigene Geschichte, und jede Geschichte ist es wert, erzählt zu werden."
我本来可以征服整个世界的。
"The best stories are those that refuse to end."
能竭忠尽孝,才能称为人。治国安邦称为学问。能平定叛乱称为人才,编织天地事物称为文章。心胸光明坦荡称为风度。万物与我一体称为仁心。
A writer's life is a highly vulnerable, almost naked activity. We don't have to weep about that. The writer makes his choice and is stuck with it. But it is true to say that you are open to all the winds, some of them icy indeed. You are out on your own, out on a limb. You find no shelter, no protection — unless you lie — in which case of course you have constructed your own protection and, it could be argued, become a politician.
