A writer's life is a highly vulnerable, almost naked activity. We don't have to weep about that. The writer makes his choice and is stuck with it. But it is true to say that you are open to all the winds, some of them icy indeed. You are out on your own, out on a limb. You find no shelter, no protection — unless you lie — in which case of course you have constructed your own protection and, it could be argued, become a politician.
作家的生活是高度脆弱、几乎赤裸的活动。我们不必为此哭泣。作家做出了选择并坚持它。但可以说,你向所有的风敞开,其中一些确实冰冷。你独自一人,处于危险之中。你找不到庇护,没有保护——除非你撒谎——在这种情况下,你当然已经构建了自己的保护,可以说,成为了一个政治家。
"The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows."
有时候你不需要人生目标,不需要知道宏伟蓝图。你只需要知道下一步要做什么!
The true artist is not the one who is inspired, but the one who inspires others.
我为我们没有做的许多事情感到骄傲,就像为我们做过的事情感到骄傲一样。创新就是对一千件事情说不。
Innovation is not just about creating something new, but about making what exists better.
关键是在事情顺利时不要太高调,在事情不顺时不要太低落。
最好的领导者是那些既能倾听又能表达的人。
