"The power of words lies in their ability to create worlds within worlds."

The tragedy of life is not that the beautiful things die young, but that they grow old and mean.

To be a writer is to be a perpetual outsider, always observing, never quite belonging.

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.

文学是文化之间的桥梁，一种跨越我们之间距离的方式。

未来不是我们进入的，未来是我们创造的。

最好的歌曲来自真实的生活经历。

我不在乎过去，我在乎未来。
