沙漠教会人耐心、沉默和小事物的价值。

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success

"In the silence between words, the true meaning often lies hidden, waiting to be discovered by the attentive reader."

每一件艺术作品都是一次忏悔。

A writer must be a witness to his or her time, must bear witness to the injustices and the sufferings of the world.

The historian is both detective and storyteller.

In a way, if you like, at one end of the spectrum of sympathy, you've got the tabloid newspaper. At the other end of the spectrum, you've got tragedy and tragic art. And I suppose I'm arguing that we should learn a little bit about what's happening in tragic art. It would be insane to call Hamlet a loser. He is not a loser, though he has lost. And I think that is the message of tragedy to us, and why it's so very, very important, I think.
