我不遵守规则，我制定规则。

我活得越久就越发现我从不出错，而我谦卑地花费精力验证自己想法的所有痛苦只是浪费时间。

一种善行没有内心的支持就不会长久，一种行为如果得不到自身的了解就无法树立。 

我的目标很简单。那就是完全理解宇宙，为什么它是这样的，以及它为什么存在。

A writer's life is a highly vulnerable, almost naked activity. We don't have to weep about that. The writer makes his choice and is stuck with it. But it is true to say that you are open to all the winds, some of them icy indeed. You are out on your own, out on a limb. You find no shelter, no protection — unless you lie — in which case of course you have constructed your own protection and, it could be argued, become a politician.

意识到时间并不重要乃是智慧之门。
