你
There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.
All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know.
Writing is like sex. First you do it for love, then you do it for your friends, and then you do it for money.
Arrange whatever pieces come your way.
If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people.
Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.
A man is the sum of his misfortunes. One day you'd think misfortune would get tired but then time is your misfortune.
You don't love because: you love despite; not for the virtues, but despite the faults.
You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore.
So long as you have food in your mouth, you have solved all questions for the time being.
Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.
In the fight between you and the world, back the world.
I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use—silence, exile, and cunning.
Think you're escaping and run into yourself. Longest way round is the shortest way home.
