Literature is the only way to run away without leaving home.

思想之流是维持生命的行为之流。

If you're not moving forward, you're falling behind.

"We are all broken, that's how the light gets in."

"The Middle East is not just a geography, it's an open wound in the body of history that keeps bleeding stories."

The writer must be a perpetual outsider, a critic of all orthodoxies.
