我相信如果你时刻准备着，就不必临时准备。

写作是理解世界的一种方式。

I write to make sense of my own life.

我不是摇滚明星，我是拥有摇滚明星生活方式的流行歌手。

我从不回头看，我只向前看。

"The world is a prison, and language is the key."

"The writer's duty is to disturb the peace, to unsettle the comfortable, and to comfort the unsettled."

The purpose of life is the pursuit of truth and virtue.

"A good book is an event in my life."
