那一天，不知什么原因，我决定出去跑一趟，所以我跑到路的尽头。当我到达那里，我想也许我能跑到城边；而当我到达那里，我想也许我能跑遍绿茵县；这时我想既然我跑了那么远，也许我可以跑遍亚拉巴马州。我就这么做了。我横越整个亚拉巴马，不知什么原因，我继续跑，我一直跑到大海；当我到达那里，我想既然我跑了那么远，也许不如掉头继续跑，然后当我跑到另一个大海；我想既然我跑了那么远，我也许不如掉头，继续跑下去。当我累了，我就睡觉；当我饿了，我就吃饭；当我想去…你知道…我就去。

"The purpose of fiction is to combat loneliness."

I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom.

"Every city has a sex and an age which have nothing to do with demography."

The only real joy is the joy of creation.

沙漠不能被声称或拥有——它是一块由风携带的布，从未被石头固定，被赋予了一百个变化的名字。
