I don’t like to lose, but it’s part of the game. What matters is how you recover.

That's exhilarating if you're doing well, and very crushing if you're not. It leads, in the worst cases -- in the analysis of a sociologist like Emil Durkheim -- it leads to increased rates of suicide. There are more suicides in developed, individualistic countries than in any other part of the world. And some of the reason for that is that people take what happens to them extremely personally -- they own their success, but they also own their failure.

"I am not a writer who writes to entertain. I write to provoke thought and challenge the status quo."

The world is full of people who have never, since childhood, met an open doorway with an open mind.

我说运气是当机会来临时，你已经准备好了。

过去总是在我们的生活中存在，塑造我们是谁以及我们如何看待世界。

写作就是呼吸，就是生活，就是超越时间和空间的存在。
