A writer's life is a highly vulnerable, almost naked activity. We don't have to weep about that. The writer makes his choice and is stuck with it. But it is true to say that you are open to all the winds, some of them icy indeed. You are out on your own, out on a limb. You find no shelter, no protection — unless you lie — in which case of course you have constructed your own protection and, it could be argued, become a politician.

You can be whatever size you are, and you can be beautiful both inside and out.

技术并不重要。重要的是你对人有信心，认为他们本质上是善良和聪明的，如果你给他们工具，他们会做出美妙的事情。

不要害怕冒险，走出你的舒适区。
