I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life. To put to rout all that was not life. And not, when I had come to die, discover that I had not lived.

I believe that every story is a kind of truth.

"You don't write because you want to say something; you write because you've got something to say."

To create is to confront the chaos of existence and give it form.

大海不拒绝水流，所以成其大；高山不拒绝石块，所以成其高。
