作为一个作家的巨大优势是你可以窥探别人。你在那里，听着每一个字，但你的一部分在观察。对作家来说，一切都是有用的，每一片碎片，甚至是最长最无聊的午餐会。
"The great advantage of being a writer is that you can spy on people. You're there, listening to every word, but part of you is observing. Everything is useful to a writer, every scrap, even the longest and most boring of luncheon parties."
我坐在黑暗中。很难弄清楚什么更糟糕：里面的黑暗还是外面的黑暗？
The best books are those that open your eyes.
The greatest poems are those that speak to the heart.
For those born with a purpose, nothing is insignificant.
I don’t like to be forgotten. I like to be remembered.
