我们每个人都是自己故事的作者，尽管有时我们无法控制故事的结局。
Each of us is the author of our own story, though sometimes we cannot control the ending.
伟大的小说是拒绝被简化为单一意义的小说。
The only sensible ends of literature are, first, the pleasurable toil of writing; second, the gratification of one's family and friends; and lastly, the solid cash.
