如果你想将一个人变成怪物，就在文化层面上否认他们的任何自我反映。
If you want to make a human being into a monster, deny them, at the cultural level, any reflection of themselves.
The novel is the highest example of subtle inter-relatedness that man has discovered. It is the book of life. In this sense, the Bible is a great confused novel. You may say, it is about God. But it is really about man alive.
Separate the processes of creation from improving. You can’t write and edit， or sculpt and polish， or make and analyze at the same time. If you do， the editor stops the creator. While you invent， don’t select. While you sketch， don’t inspect. While you write the first draft， don’t reflect. At the start， the creator mind must be unleashed from judgement.
Writing is a way of trying to understand what happens to us.
