The human being cannot live in a condition of emptiness for very long: if he is not growing toward something, he does not merely stagnate; the pent-up potentialities turn into morbidity and despair, and eventually into destructive activities.

Every thought serves some biological purpose.

言语有治愈伤口的力量，也有加深伤口的可能；作家必须明智地选择。

寂静中有音乐，如果你仔细聆听。

写作是对时间侵蚀的抵抗。
