"文学的力量在于它能够揭示人性的复杂性，而不仅仅是描述事件。"

那些不能说“不”的人，也无法真正地说“是”。

Now, I am not going to stand here and tell you that failure is fun. That period of my life was a dark one, and I had no idea that there was going to be what the press has since represented as a kind of fairy tale resolution. I had no idea then how far the tunnel extended, and for a long time, any light at the end of it was a hope rather than a reality.

"The best way to find out who you are is to get lost in a book."

We should focus on both short-term gains and long-term value creation.

I think all writing is a campaign against cliche. Not just cliches of the pen but cliches of the mind and cliches of the heart.

最大的智慧是知道自己一无所知。
