I cannot and do not live in the world of discretion, not as a writer, anyway. I would prefer to, I assure you—it would make life easier. But discretion is, unfortunately, not for novelists.

I'm not afraid to fall because I know I'll get back up.

The most important thing is to enjoy your life—to be happy—it's all that matters.

The condition of man... is a condition of war of everyone against everyone.

作家必须是一个自由的存在，即使这会让他付出一切代价。
