"It seems to me that if you or I must choose between two courses of thought or action, we should remember our dying and try so to live that our death brings no pleasure to the world."
在我看来,如果你或我必须在两种思想或行动之间做出选择,我们应该记住我们的死亡,并努力生活,使我们的死亡不会给世界带来任何快乐。
"The writer's job is to get the main character up a tree, and then once they are up there, throw rocks at them."
What's terrible is to pretend that second-rate is first-rate. To pretend that you don't need love when you do; or you like your work when you know quite well you're capable of better.
你不能只做一次有效的事情,你周围的一切都在不断变化。要成功,就要走在变化的前面。
