不与居积人争富，不与进取人争贵，不与矜饰人争名，不与少年人争英俊，不与盛气人争是非。
不和屯积钱财的人争较财富多少；不和热心仕途的人争较地位高下；不和骄傲自夸的人争较名声大小；不和年轻力壮的人争较仪容风度，不和逞强好胜的人争较胜负高低。
每种材料都有自己的记忆和历史。
故事本身才是主角，而不是说故事的人。
The art of writing is the art of discovering what you truly believe.
实现不可能的唯一方法就是相信它是可能的。
Those who do not have power over the story that dominates their lives, the power to retell it, rethink it, deconstruct it, joke about it, and change it as they change, truly are powerless, because they cannot think new thoughts.
The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible.
