我会用city而永不用Metropolis来表达城市,用cop而永不用policeman来表达警察,既然三丶四个字母可以赚七个美分,为什么要用长而赘的字呢?
I never write Metropolis for seven cents because I can get the same price for city. I never write policeman because I can get the same money for cop.
言行一致,内心纯洁是最高的德行。

"The past is never dead. It's not even past."
The best way to predict the future is to create it.
I want the reader to feel something is astonishing. Not the 'what happens,' but the way everything happens. These long short story fictions do this best, for me.
