I cannot and do not live in the world of discretion, not as a writer, anyway. I would prefer to, I assure you—it would make life easier. But discretion is, unfortunately, not for novelists.
我不能也不愿生活在谨慎的世界里,至少作为作家不行。我向你保证,我宁愿如此——那样生活会更容易。但不幸的是,谨慎不适合小说家。
世界上充满了显而易见的事情,但没有人会去注意它们。
做出伟大工作的唯一途径是热爱你所做的事。
