写作是一种生活方式，一种存在于世界的方式。

"The writer's duty is to tell the truth, even when it is uncomfortable."

我写作是为了理解周围的世界。

I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit.

我们生活中最美好的时刻不是被动的、接受的、放松的时刻……最美好的时刻通常发生在一个人自愿努力完成一项困难而有价值的事情时，身体或精神被拉伸到极限。
