The only obsession everyone wants: 'love.' People think that in falling in love they make themselves whole? The Platonic union of souls? I think otherwise. I think you're whole before you begin. And the love fractures you. You're whole, and then you're cracked open.

The novel is the only art form capable of fully representing human complexity.

历史不仅仅是关于发生了什么，而是关于被记住的内容和方式。

我不怕输，我怕没有全力以赴。
