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 turn to the novel.

我们的科学力量已经超过了我们的精神力量。我们有导弹，但我们的人类道德方向已经偏离。

"Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not, and therefore the fount of all invention and innovation. In its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity, it is the power that enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we have never shared."

"Writing is a way to give voice to our fears."

成功不在于终点，而在于旅程。

诗歌是一个可以说出不可言说之事的地方。
