生活不是一系列对称排列的灯光；生活是一个光晕，一个半透明的信封，从意识的开始到结束都包围着我们。

The novel is the most complete form of human expression.

在你能爱别人之前，你必须先爱自己。

I'm just a woman. And as a woman， I have no way to make money， not enough to earn a living and support my family. Even if I had my own money， which I don’t， it would belong to my husband the minute we were married. If we had children they would belong to him， not me. They would be his property. So don’t sit there and tell me that marriage isn’t an economic proposition， because it is.

True leadership is about serving others, not commanding them.

I don’t know what I want. I am inconsistent, non-committal, passive; I like the indefinite, the boundless; I like continual uncertainty.

小说是一面行走在路上的镜子。

The greatest tragedy in mankind's entire history may be the hijacking of morality by religion.
