发现
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.
Read, read, read. Read everything — trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.
I'm a failed poet. Maybe every novelist wants to write poetry first, finds he can't, and then tries the short story, which is the most demanding form after poetry. And, failing at that, only then does he take up novel writing.
A man's errors are his portals of discovery.
A man of genius makes no mistakes. His errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery.
The more one works, the more one discovers.
Knowledge can be shared, but wisdom cannot. It must be discovered and lived.
The act of writing is an act of discovery.
The more you read, the more you realize how little you know.
