Stories you read when you're the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called. Sometimes you'll forget precisely what happened, but if a story touches you it will stay with you, haunting the places in your mind that you rarely ever visit.

有时你必须先投降才能获胜。

The act of writing is an act of faith—in language, in the reader, in oneself.

写作是一种抵抗那些试图让我们沉默的力量的行为。

不断思考你如何能做得更好，并不断质疑自己。
