What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals. At your funeral people will not recall what you did; they will only remember how you made them feel.
实现目标后的结果,远没有实现目标过程中的成长重要。在你的葬礼上,人们不会去回忆你的功绩;他们只会记得你带给他们的感觉。
作家不是在真空中造就的。作家是见证者。我们需要作家的原因是因为我们需要见证这个可怕的世纪。
