The creative act is not pure. History evidences it. Sociology extracts it. The writer loses Eden, writes to be read and comes to realize that he is answerable.
创作行为并不纯粹。历史证明了这一点。社会学提取了它。作家失去了伊甸园,写作是为了被阅读,并逐渐意识到他是需要负责的。
你有敌人?很好。这说明在你的生命中的某个时刻,你曾经呐喊过。
Here's an insight that I've had about success: You can't be successful at everything. We hear a lot of talk about work-life balance. Nonsense. You can't have it all. You can't. So any vision of success has to admit what it's losing out on, where the element of loss is. And I think any wise life will accept, as I say, that there is going to be an element where we're not succeeding.
