文学的职责是扰乱、质疑、动摇确定性。
The duty of literature is to disturb, to question, to undermine certainties.
The only thing that can make you a better person is yourself.
写作是一种思考的方式,一种理解世界的方式。
别人胜过我,没有什么害处,因为这样的话,别人不会在他们的内心深处积下对我的怨恨;我胜过别人,不一定是什么好事,因为这样的话,那些心胸狭窄之人,恐怕会给我降下难以预测的灾祸。
Art is the only serious thing in the world. And the artist is the only person who is never serious.
