I write to understand the world, and to understand myself.

The stories I’m writing now are more and more about memory, about the past, and about how we reconstruct the past.

我认为，与战胜敌人的人相比，战胜欲望的人更加勇敢。

The past is what you remember, imagine you remember, convince yourself you remember, or pretend you remember.

在数学中，提出问题的艺术必须比解决问题更有价值。

To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming, is the only end of life.
