The best stories don’t talk down to children—they invite them in.

感官的界限不应由我们自身能力的狭隘范围来决定。

绝不能为了速度而牺牲质量。

也许每一天并不都是好的，但每一天都有一些好的东西。

——辛格1978年诺贝尔文学奖获奖演说

A novelist must be a psychologist, but a psychologist of a special kind—one who understands the souls of men and women as if he had made them.

沉默是上帝的语言，而我们诗人则是它的诠释者。
