The past is always tense, the future perfect.
成为一名作家就是在每天的寒冷时刻坐在桌前写作;不是等待从胸骨中迸发出天才的蓝色火焰——只是写作。
Always demand a deadline. A deadline weeds out the extraneous and the ordinary. It prevents you from trying to make it perfect, so you have to make it different. Different is better.
Love is the only way to grasp another human being in the innermost core of his personality.
