文学是耐心的艺术，无论对写的人还是读的人都是如此。

The secret is in the preparation.

文学的本质在于捕捉人类经验的瞬息万变，并将其永恒地铭刻在文字中。

人生中最难的事情是知道该跨过哪座桥，该烧掉哪座桥。

The pursuit of knowledge is a journey without end.

天地没有偏爱，视万物如草扎的狗；圣人没有偏爱，视百姓如草扎的狗。（引自《道德经》，萧鼎在《诛仙》中化用）

What literature needs most to tell and investigate today are humanity's basic fears: the fear of being left outside, and the fear of counting for nothing, and the feelings of worthlessness that come with such fears.

我相信每个孩子都有权利接触到反映他们自己经历和文化的书籍和故事。
