I don’t ask writers about their work habits. I really don’t care. Joyce Carol Oates says somewhere that when writers ask each other what time they start working and when they finish and how much time they take for lunch, they’re actually trying to find out, ‘Is he as crazy as I am?’ I don’t need that question answered.
"Technique is important, but it should never overshadow the soul of the work."
人们都保有原本的视觉,天下就不会有毁坏;人们都保有原本的听觉,天下就没有忧患;人们都保有原本的智慧,天下就不会有迷惑;人们都保有原本的品德,天下就没有邪恶。
The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world, and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon.
