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 turn to the novel.
我是个失败的诗人。也许每个小说家最初都想写诗,发现自己做不到后尝试短篇小说——那是仅次于诗歌要求最高的形式。连这个也失败了,他才会转向长篇小说。

现实是:有时候你会输。你永远不会因为太好而不输。你永远不会因为太强大而不输。你永远不会因为太聪明而不输。这会发生。
我们都是破碎的,这就是光进入的方式。
永远不要停止学习,因为世界永远不会停止变化。
