You have to believe in yourself when no one else does

I don't compete with anyone but myself.

The writer's only responsibility is to his art. He will be completely ruthless if he is a good one... If a writer has to rob his mother, he will not hesitate; the "Ode on a Grecian Urn" is worth any number of old ladies.

所有行为都是由某种形式的驱力减少所驱动的。

唯一值得写的就是人类内心的自我冲突。
