"The novel is the great democratic art form. It's the one place where you can be anyone, do anything, and say anything."
I'm a failed poet. Maybe every novelist wants to write poetry first, finds he can't and then tries the short story which is the most demanding form after poetry. And failing at that, only then does he turn to the novel.
She walks in beauty like the night,Of cloudless climes and starry skies;All that's best of dark and bright,Meet in her aspect and her eyes.
The past is not dead, it is not even past.
一本怀有恶意的书籍将不会伤害到任何人,除了写它的傻瓜。
We don't have to try so hard.
