在追求目标的过程中，耐心和毅力比智商更重要。

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.

现实并非发生在我们身上的事，而是我们如何处理那些发生的事。

"The act of writing is an act of resistance against oblivion."

在商业中，就像在生活中一样，你必须愿意冒险才能实现伟大的事情。
