小说的目的是让你走出自己的生活，意识到其他人的生活。

更快完成项目的最好方法是尽早开始。

Existence is a con.

The dead speak if you know how to listen.

The true artist will let his wife starve, his children go barefoot, his mother drudge for his living at seventy, sooner than work at anything but his art.

你可能无法改变现实，但你可以改变你对现实的态度，而这，矛盾的是，会改变现实。

有时候，我认为生活的目的是让我们接受最终的失去。
