"To live is to be followed by shadows."

Literature is the voice of the marginalized.

The material is the message.

The most important victories are the ones that come after the toughest defeats.

The only time I know that something is true is at the moment I discover it in the act of writing.

我整洁、干净、刮了胡子、清醒，而且我不在乎谁知道。

Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice.

So it goes.

Leadership is about making tough decisions with a long-term vision.
