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。
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.
可持续性不是一种选择；它是我们对下一代的责任。
真相往往隐藏在显而易见之处。
Writing is like sex. First you do it for love, then you do it for your friends, and then you do it for money.
The greatest gift you can give someone is your time, because you are giving them a portion of your life that you will never get back.
你破坏得越多，创造得就越多。
