I write to understand what has happened to me, to transform my shame into language.
我写作是为了理解发生在我身上的事,将羞耻转化为语言。
我不会把时间浪费在延长生命。
Words dazzle and deceive because they are mimed by the face.But black words on a white page are the soul laid bare.
"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."
生命短暂,务必珍惜当下,这是亘古不变的真理。
Literature should be judged as literature, not as a social document.
