选择最好的生活，因为习惯会使它愉快。

I want the reader to feel something is astonishing—not the 'what happens' but the way everything happens.

Now, I am not going to stand here and tell you that failure is fun. That period of my life was a dark one, and I had no idea that there was going to be what the press has since represented as a kind of fairy tale resolution. I had no idea then how far the tunnel extended, and for a long time, any light at the end of it was a hope rather than a reality.

Literature is a form of resistance, a rebellion against injustice and oppression.
