文学的作用是使世界更加复杂,而不是简化它。
"The role of literature is to make the world more complex, not to simplify it."
I don't care about fame. I care about the work.
"Sometimes, the most ordinary things could be made extraordinary, simply by doing them with the right people."
写作是一种向世界说“我存在,我有话要说”的方式。
"It's hard to think of anyone who, at one time or another, has not been laid low by love or by the lack of it."
