作家的任务是把主角弄到树上，然后一旦他们上去了，就朝他们扔石头。
"The writer's job is to get the main character up a tree, and then once they are up there, throw rocks at them."
The work of art is a fragment of the divine.
花开时不能一同欣赏，花落时也无法共同悲伤
Quality is more important than quantity. One home run is much better than two doubles.
——1963年6月25日在西德市政厅柏林墙前的演说
爱是用心去欣赏；欣赏是用理智去爱。
