The act of writing is an act of faith—in language, in the reader, in the story itself.
写作是一种信仰的行为——对语言、对读者、对故事本身的信仰。
We are all born with a certain package. We are who we are: where we were born, who we were born as, how we were raised. We're kind of stuck inside that person, and the purpose of civilization and growth is to be able to reach out and empathize a little bit with other people.
"A poem is a small machine made out of words."
To write is to give shape to the unseen.
