给予就是接受，爱就是被爱，生活就是让生活继续。

To write is to try to know what we would write if we wrote.

I'm a failed poet. Maybe every novelist wants to write poetry first, finds he can't and then tries the short story which is the most demanding form after poetry. And failing at that, only then does he turn to the novel.

We are all made of stories, and those stories are constantly being rewritten.
