我喜欢把我的作品看作不同系统和语境之间的一种翻译。

It's probably as unlikely that you would nowadays become as rich and famous as Bill Gates, as it was unlikely in the17th century that you would accede to the ranks of the French aristocracy. But the point is, it doesn't feel that way.

The essence of poverty is that tomorrow’s uncertainties devour today’s possibilities.

文学是人类灵魂的镜子，在其中我们都能看到自己的反映。

真正重要的是质疑问题本身。
