A novel is not just a story; it is a constructed object, an artifice that must be as perfect as possible.
小说不仅仅是一个故事；它是一个建构的物体，一种必须尽可能完美的艺术技巧。
成功不是被给予的，而是赢得的。
The work is not the object, but the action.
The more you read, the more you will see that the same stories are told over and over again, just with different characters and settings.
The only way to achieve the impossible is to believe it is possible.
The best films are the ones that make you think.
