Power is not given to you. You have to take it.

文字的力量可以改变世界，一次一个读者。

Stories you read when you're the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called. Sometimes you'll forget precisely what happened, but if a story touches you it will stay with you, haunting the places in your mind that you rarely ever visit.

文学的力量在于它能够让不可见的东西变得可见，让沉默的声音被听见。

I think that one wants from a painting a sense of life.

写作是对遗忘的一种抵抗形式。
