I'm a failed poet. Maybe every novelist wants to write poetry first, finds he can't, and then tries the short story, which is the most demanding form after poetry. And, failing at that, only then does he take up novel writing.
我是个失败的诗人。也许每个小说家都想先写诗,发现自己做不到,然后尝试短篇小说,这是诗歌之后要求最高的形式。如果连这都失败了,他才会转向写小说。
最好的文学是让我们感到不安、扰乱我们睡眠的文学。
没有执行的愿景只是一个梦想。
幸福在于成就的喜悦和创造努力的激动。
It is much easier to change how you think by changing your behavior, than it is to change your behavior by changing how you think. Act out the change you seek.
创作艺术是理解生活混乱的一种方式。
每一本书都是一个新的世界,等待着读者去探索。
"The task of the poet is to give voice to what is otherwise unspeakable."
