我是个失败的诗人。也许每个小说家都想先写诗，发现自己做不到，然后尝试短篇小说，这是诗歌之后要求最高的形式。如果连这都失败了，他才会转向写小说。
I'm a failed poet. Maybe every novelist wants to write poetry first, finds he can't, and then tries the short story, which is the most demanding form after poetry. And, failing at that, only then does he take up novel writing.
合作共赢才是长久之道，单打独斗的时代已经过去。
大多数人的问题在于他们用希望、恐惧或愿望思考，而不是用头脑。
