I love flowers so much that I could kiss them, but I know if I did, they would wither and die.

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.

我不是来被理解的，我是来被感受的。

成为作家就是成为梦想家、讲故事的人和人类状况的见证者。

我只是决心按照我自己的意见去行事，这将构成我的幸福，而不考虑你或与我毫无关联的任何人。

I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people， and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park， listened carefully to me， and finally said， "That sounds like a really good idea， but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn't already have a good job." That logic made some sense to me， and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light， it really was a difficult choice， but ultimately， I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn't think I'd regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all. After much consideration， I took the less safe path to follow my passion， and I'm proud of that choice.

写作是与世界互动。

人类有一件真正有力的武器，那就是笑。
