一个作家是一个对现实世界不满意的人，他想要改变它，改善它，让它变得更美丽，更公正，更宜居。
A writer is a person who is not satisfied with the world as it is, who wants to change it, to improve it, to make it more beautiful, more just, more livable.

So what I want to argue for is not that we should give up on our ideas of success, but we should make sure that they are our own. We should focus in on our ideas, and make sure that we own them; that we are truly the authors of our own ambitions. Because it's bad enough not getting what you want, but it's even worse to have an idea of what it is you want, and find out, at the end of the journey, that it isn't, in fact, what you wanted all along.
即使其他人都认为你的想法很疯狂，也要坚持下去，不要停止，在你到达目标之前甚至都不要考虑停止，并且不要过多考虑“那里”是哪里。
The philosopher in the bedroom is as ludicrous a figure as the philosopher in the nightclub.
