"A story is a way to explore the world without leaving home."

我的作品不是要让人看懂，而是要让人感受到。

"The world begins at a kitchen table. No matter what, we must eat to live."

"Memory is a strange thing. It doesn't work as I thought it did. We are so foolishly constructed that we go through life arm in arm with our earliest memories, thinking they are the most recent."

The true subject of the novel is not the story, but the human soul.

我不遵守规则。我制定节奏，然后打破它。

Overfishing is a theft from future generations—we must be the generation that stops it.
