世界上充满了故事，但只有少数值得讲述。

文学是受控的失望的艺术。

The writer must be a perpetual questioner, a doubter of all certainties.

我不完美，但我正在尽力而为。

I decided, very early on, just to accept life unconditionally; I never expected it to do anything special for me, yet I seemed to accomplish far more than I had ever hoped. Most of the time it just happened to me without my ever seeking it.

如果你想成功，就必须愿意做出艰难的决定。
