History is the present. That's why every generation writes it anew. But what most people think of as history is its end product, myth.

I think it's important to have a good hard failure when you're young... I learned a lot from that. Because it makes you kind of aware of what can happen to you. Because of it, I've never had any fear in my whole life when we've been near collapse and so on. I've never been afraid.

作家是一个总是试图寻找真相的人，关于他自己的真相，关于世界的真相，关于生活的真相。

Never take yourself too seriously. Nobody else does.

"The only way to learn how to write is to write."
