I’m not a pessimist. I’m an optimist who’s been through a lot.

伟大的小说是一个自成一体的世界，有自己的法则和逻辑。

"I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit."

每一个写下的词都是一个勇敢的行为，一个存在的宣言。
