写作是对抗遗忘的一种行为。

You can't predict. You can prepare.

You play with the cards you're dealt...whatever that means.

Stories you read when you're the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called. Sometimes you'll forget precisely what happened, but if a story touches you it will stay with you, haunting the places in your mind that you rarely ever visit.
