Markets are not perfect, but well-designed ones come close.

写作就是一场漫长的自我教育。

我不相信写作障碍，我相信懒惰。

最难的是让事情变得简单。

I think it's merely the randomness of the winning and losing process that I want to stress, because the emphasis nowadays is so much on the justice of everything, and politicians always talk about justice. Now I'm a firm believer in justice, I just think that it's impossible. So we should do everything we can to pursue it, but we should always remember that whoever is facing us, whatever has happened in their lives, there will be a strong element of the haphazard. That's what I'm trying to leave room for; otherwise, it can get quite claustrophobic.

You can never know anyone as completely as you want. But that’s all right, love is better.
