真正的建筑总是从过去与现在的对话中产生。

保持饥饿，保持愚蠢，但也要保持年轻。

To be a writer is to have a certain kind of sensitivity to the world, to be able to see what others do not see, to hear what others do not hear.

I like to be different. I don't want to be like everyone else.

The novel is a way of thinking, not just a way of telling a story.
