The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration.

The novel is a form of exploration, a way of understanding the world and our place in it.

艺术不是关于创造美丽的物体，而是关于提出问题并让人们思考。
