死者一直在倾听。死者一直在注视。
The dead are always listening. The dead are always watching.
A writer's life is a highly vulnerable, almost naked activity. We don't have to weep about that. The writer makes his choice and is stuck with it. But it is true to say that you are open to all the winds, some of them icy indeed. You are out on your own, out on a limb. You find no shelter, no protection — unless you lie — in which case of course you have constructed your own protection and, it could be argued, become a politician.
The most beautiful works of art are those in which necessity and freedom are in perfect balance.
I'm not trying to be sexy or cute. I'm just being myself.
