可怕
The novel is the art of the possible, and the possible is always more terrifying than the real.
The writer isn't made in a vacuum. Writers are witnesses. The reason we need writers is because we need witnesses to this terrifying century.
It's a terrible thing to be alone—yes it is—but it's also terrible to be with people and still feel alone.
What's terrible is to pretend that second-rate is first-rate. To pretend that you don't need love when you do; or you like your work when you know quite well you're capable of better.
I want to liberate America from fear. I want people to be afraid of the things that are really scary, like war and famine, not their neighbor because he has a different religion.
The truth is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with great caution.
"Love is scary: it changes; it can go away. That's the part of the risk."
"What's terrible is to pretend that second-rate is first-rate. To pretend that you don't need love when you do; or you like your work when you know quite well you're capable of better."
本当の勇気とは、怖いことを知っていながら、それでも前に進むことだ。
信じることは、時には怖いことだ。
