I don’t ask writers about their work habits. I really don’t care. Joyce Carol Oates says somewhere that when writers ask each other what time they start working and when they finish and how much time they take for lunch, they’re actually trying to find out, ‘Is he as crazy as I am?’ I don’t need that question answered.
——《致鲁赛尔函》(1906年11月8日)
生活不是等待暴风雨过去,而是学会在雨中跳舞。
If you don’t drive your business, you will be driven out of business.
