成为一名作家就是在每天的寒冷时刻坐在桌前写作；不是等待从胸骨中迸发出天才的蓝色火焰——只是写作。
"To be a writer is to sit down at one's desk in the chill portion of every day, and to write; not waiting for the little jet of the blue flame of genius to start from the breastbone--just writing."
人类社会生活的行为流是由存在的物质条件构成的。
阅读之于心灵，犹如运动之于身体。
And the thing about a successful life is that a lot of the time, our ideas of what it would mean to live successfully are not our own. They're sucked in from other people; chiefly, if you're a man, your father, and if you're a woman, your mother. Psychoanalysis has been drumming home this message for about 80 years. No one's quite listening hard enough, but I very much believe it's true.
If you’re not failing, you’re not trying hard enough.
