The deepest need of man is the need to overcome his separateness, to leave the prison of his aloneness.

作家的职责是说出真相，即使真相令人不安。

"Literature is the bridge between the individual and the universal, connecting personal experience with the collective human condition."

The whole world is a story, and I’m trying to tell it.

I want my books to be a mirror, not a window.

一件事情都不能做到有始有终，就不要去操持其他的事情;一物也不明白，就不要追求博闻广记。

Cinema is a mirror by which we often see ourselves.

I’m always trying to find a way to make the story more interesting, more complex, more layered.
