在这个如同战区般的世界里,我们都是行走的伤者。
We need never be ashamed of our tears.
A writer's life is a highly vulnerable, almost naked activity. We don't have to weep about that. The writer makes his choice and is stuck with it. But it is true to say that you are open to all the winds, some of them icy indeed. You are out on your own, out on a limb. You find no shelter, no protection — unless you lie — in which case of course you have constructed your own protection and, it could be argued, become a politician.
深入做某件事的唯一方法就是努力工作。
