"To be a writer is to sit down at one's desk in the chill portion of every day, and to write; not waiting for the little jet of the blue flame of genius to start from the breastbone."
成为一名作家就是在每一天的寒冷时分坐在桌前写作；而不是等待天才的蓝色火焰从胸骨中喷涌而出。
The truth is, every writer creates his own precursors.
All suffering originates from craving， from attachment， from desire.
The best fiction makes the familiar strange and the strange familiar.
