就像下棋时你刚把手指从棋子上移开，突然发现自己走错了，一阵恐慌袭来，因为你还不清楚自己将面临多大的灾难。
It was like when you make a move in chess and just as you take your finger off the piece, you see the mistake you’ve made, and there’s this panic because you don’t know yet the scale of disaster you’ve left yourself open to.
I don’t do things for the money. I do them because I love them.
小说是一个你可以探索人性复杂性的地方，而不必担心被评判。
I'm not perfect, but I'm trying my best.
——2004年在南京航空学院上的演讲
The secret of theory is that truth does not exist.
