The will is the central organizing force of mental life.

幸福就是珍惜那些自己觉得幸福的瞬间。

The novel is the best instrument to explore human complexity.

The consequences of this problem make themselves felt in bookshops. When you go to a large bookshop and look at the self-help sections, as I sometimes do -- if you analyze self-help book sproduced in the world today, there are basically two kinds. The first kind tells you, "You can do it! You can make it! Anything's possible!" The other kind tells you how to cope with what we politely call "low self-esteem," or impolitely call, "feeling very bad about yourself."

成功的关键是在生活的各个方面不断成长——精神、情感、灵性以及身体。

写作是为了抵抗遗忘。
