"Writing is a way of life, a way of being in the world."

没有人真正了解其他人。他所能做的最好的事情就是假设他们像他自己一样。

The laws of physics produce complexity, and complexity leads to consciousness.

The only way to escape the past is to confront it.

The writer is a man who has to live in the world but not be of it.

小说不仅仅是故事；它是一面反映人性和社会复杂性的镜子。
