艺术应该安慰不安的人，扰乱安逸的人。

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 take up novel writing.

As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.

"The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion."

I've always been focused on the music and the performance.

我写作是为了记住，不让过去溜走。
