写作就是面对记忆的幽灵。
To write is to confront the ghosts of memory.
创新的关键不仅在于发现，还在于将该发现应用于现实世界的问题。
我不是榜样，我是目标模型。
I don’t ask writers about their work habits. I really don’t care. Joyce Carol Oates says somewhere that when writers ask each other what time they start working and when they finish and how much time they take for lunch, they’re actually trying to find out, ‘Is he as crazy as I am?’ I don’t need that question answered.
