我认为艺术的功能是让生活比艺术更有趣。

So, I'm going to end it there. But what I really want to stress is: by all means, success, yes. But let's accept the strangeness of some of our ideas. Let's probe away at our notions of success. Let's make sure our ideas of success are truly our own.

独裁和真正的文学是不相容的。作家是独裁的天敌。

Make stuff that is good for people to have.

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.

创造就是抵抗——抵抗沉默，抵抗遗忘。

不是有没有时间的问题，而是愿不愿意挤出时间的问题。
