世界
The truth about the world is that anything is possible. Had you not seen it all from birth and thereby bled it of its strangeness it would appear to you for what it is. A hat trick in a medicine show. A fevered dream. A trance bepopulate with chimeras having neither analogue nor precedent. An itinerant carnival. A migratory tentshow whose ultimate destination after many a pitch in many a mudded field is unspeakable and calamitous beyond reckoning.
You have to believe in the reality of the world and the reality of the people in it.
The body is the instrument of our hold on the world.
To know this world is to love it, and to love it is to grieve for it.
The world is mostly right. The world is mostly wrong.
The world is almost peaceful when you stop trying to understand it.
The best thing about being a writer is that you get to live in the world you create.
Laugh, and the world laughs with you; weep, and you weep alone.
"The beauty and mystery of this world only emerges through affection, attention, interest and compassion."
"Happiness is holding someone in your arms and knowing you hold the whole world."
"The measure of a good book is whether it makes you think, feel, and see the world differently."
小说家的任务不是告诉读者世界是什么样子,而是让读者看到世界可能是什么样子。
There is no such thing as great wisdom in the world, just as there is no such thing as talent. What exists is triviality. If you keep doing repetitive things, you become an expert; if you do repetitive things with special focus, you become a master.
There is only one road in the world that no one but you can take. Where does it lead? Don't ask, just walk.
