艺术作品是艺术家与其材料之间斗争的结果。

"It's hard to think of anyone who, at one time or another, has not been laid low by love or by the lack of it."

I'm a woman and I have imperfections... and I'm proud of it.

I constantly see people rise in life who are not the smartest, sometimes not even the most diligent, but they are learning machines. They go to bed every night a little wiser than they were when they got up and boy does that help, particularly when you have a long run ahead of you.

写作就是在黑暗中摸索，希望能找到一盏灯。

文学是唯一能让真相在众目睽睽之下隐藏的地方。

"The truth is rarely pure and never simple."

遇宠辱而不惊则肝自宁，或动或静只要慎重则心自静，饮食有所节制则脾自安，调节呼吸少言语则肺自保全，淡泊少欲则肾气自足。
