The writer’s life is a life of failure.
The thought of death should usher us towards whatever happens to matter most to us; it should lend us the courage to pursue the way of life we value in our hearts.
每个人的生活都是由许多日子组成的,日复一日。我们在自己之中行走,遇见强盗、幽灵、巨人、老人、年轻人、妻子、寡妇、相爱的兄弟,但总是遇见我们自己。
文学的美妙之处在于它让我们在一生的时间里活出一千种生活。
The past is a story we tell ourselves about ourselves.
