写作是一种勇气的行为，是对宇宙沉默的挑战。
"Writing is an act of courage, a defiance against the silence of the universe."
"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."
The role of the writer is to bear witness, to tell the stories that need to be told, to give voice to the voiceless.
