诗人的工作是命名无法命名的事物，指出欺诈，选择立场，引发争论，塑造世界，并阻止它沉睡。
A poet's work is to name the unnameable, to point at frauds, to take sides, start arguments, shape the world, and stop it going to sleep.
写作是使不可见变为可见的艺术。
Every nation is a story it tells about itself.
只有当人能够察看自己的内心深处时，他的视野才会变得清晰起来。向外看的人是在梦中、向内看的人是清醒的人。
我相信讲故事的力量可以改变生活。
I decided long ago never to walk in anyone's shadow; if I fail, or if I succeed at least I did as I believe.
