"The stories we don’t tell are often the ones that matter most."

你沾沾自喜，别人乐于喜欢你；你攻击你周围的某个人，其他的人哈哈大笑；但倘若你解剖你自己的灵魂，所有的人就会嗷嗷叫。——作者原注

写作是一种生活方式，一种存在方式，一种在世界中存在的方式。

The life of a writer is absolutely solitary. He has to be alone to do his work.

When you do something best in life, you don’t really want to give that up – and for me it’s tennis.
