每个人皮肤下都住着几百个不同的人。作家的才能就是给他们各自命名、身份、个性并让他们互动。
Every human being has hundreds of separate people living under his skin. The talent of a writer is his ability to give them their separate names, identities, personalities and have them relate to each other.
关爱别人的人,别人也必定会关爱他；给别人利益的人,别人也必定会给他利益；憎恶别人的人,别人也必定憎恶他；残害别人的人,别人也必定残害他。
每个人都有不为世人所知的秘密悲伤；我们常常称一个人冷漠，其实他只是悲伤。
