What's terrible is to pretend that second-rate is first-rate. To pretend that you don't need love when you do; or you like your work when you know quite well you're capable of better.

我唯一能依靠的就是我自己的不确定性。

一切因缘和合的事物，都如同梦幻泡影，如同露水和闪电，应该这样看待。

世界是一本书，不旅行的人只读了一页。

阳光撒进头，仿若自由人。

成为一名作家就是在每天的寒冷时分坐在书桌前写作；不等待从胸骨中喷出的蓝色天才火焰。
