写作的艺术在于描述世界如其所是，同时如其所可能是。

The consequences of this problem make themselves felt in bookshops. When you go to a large bookshop and look at the self-help sections, as I sometimes do -- if you analyze self-help book sproduced in the world today, there are basically two kinds. The first kind tells you, "You can do it! You can make it! Anything's possible!" The other kind tells you how to cope with what we politely call "low self-esteem," or impolitely call, "feeling very bad about yourself."

If ease of use was the only requirement, everyone would still be riding tricycles.

Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions.

The best technology is the one you don't notice.

每个读者都为故事带来不同的东西。
