"The act of writing is an act of resistance against the chaos of the world."
You cannot find peace by avoiding life.
To write is to make sense of the chaos.
Ideas become a material force when they grip the masses.
艺术家必须是神秘的仆人。
You're going to pay a price for every bloody thing you do and everything you don't do. You don't get to choose to not pay a price. You get to choose which poison you're going to take. That's it.
To lose a language is to lose a way of seeing the world.
