"Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes."

Writing is a way of escaping from the world, but also a way of embracing it.

The writer’s job is to write with rigor, with honesty, to the very end of his strength.

The past is hidden somewhere outside the realm, beyond the reach of intellect, in some material object (in the sensation which that material object will give us) which we do not suspect.

写作是我向自己解释自己生活的唯一方式。
