As you become more clear about who you really are, you'll be better able to decide what is best for you - the first time around.

I cannot and do not live in the world of discretion, not as a writer, anyway. I would prefer to, I assure you—it would make life easier. But discretion is, unfortunately, not for novelists.

The key to success is to keep trying, even when things don't work out the first time.

To write is to resist the erasure of history.

即使只有一毫粗疏的地方，就不能准确地认识事理，所以说一定要精确。不然，众说纷纭必会产生疑惑；仅存在一丁点杂念，便不能坚守事理，故而必须专心，否则在利害面前必定会经不起考验。

The greatest gift you can give yourself is self-love.

我的座右铭是：为一点点感到满足，但希望获得更多。

我不需要太多。浮华和那些东西不会让我兴奋。我只是很高兴我有能力产生影响。
