作为一个作家的巨大优势是你可以窥探人们。你在那里，听着每一个字，但你的一部分在观察。对作家来说，一切都是有用的，每一片碎片，甚至是最长最无聊的午餐会。
"The great advantage of being a writer is that you can spy on people. You're there, listening to every word, but part of you is observing. Everything is useful to a writer, every scrap, even the longest and most boring of luncheon parties."
写作的行为是对遗忘的抵抗行为。

透明报告我们的环境影响不仅是良好做法 - 更是我们对利益相关者的义务。
I like the idea that every life has its own rhythm, that people are not simply points moving through time.
