We are all of us born with a unique set of potentialities, and it is our task in life to realize as many of them as possible.

The novel is a form of exploration, a way of mapping the unknown territories of the human heart.

做出伟大工作的唯一途径就是热爱你所做的事。如果你还没找到，继续寻找，不要安于现状。

即使有盖世之功，最要不得的是居功自傲；纵然滔天的罪恶，最难得的是悔过之心。

The people who live in a golden age usually go around complaining how yellow everything looks.

最好的故事是反映生活复杂性的故事。
