To be a writer is to be a spy on life.

I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know life is a complex matter.

The highest and most beautiful things in life are not to be heard about, nor read about, nor seen but, if one will, are to be lived.

现实主义不是复制自然，而是理解其本质。

当悲伤来临的时候，不是单个来的，而是成群结队的。

生活是由哭泣、抽噎和微笑组成的，其中抽噎占主导地位。
