Writing is a way of making sense of the world. It's a way of imposing order on chaos.

The art of the novel is to create a world that is more real than reality itself.

释义：早早成功的人未必能取得长久的成就，晚点成功的人也未必不能达到目标。因此，不能因为年轻就自满骄傲，也不能因为年老就自暴自弃。

我不是为孩子写作，我是为人写作。

A novel is a conversation between the writer and the reader.

一个人不能欺骗任何人，甚至不能欺骗世界的胜利。
