Prayer is not overcoming God's reluctance, but laying hold of His willingness.

The writer’s loyalty must be to literature, not to ideology.

永远不要忘记你来自哪里，因为那会让你的音乐保持真实。

The act of writing is an act of optimism. You would not take the trouble to do it if you felt it didn't matter.

在追求远大目标的过程中，要像完成最终目标那样去庆祝哪怕最微小的胜利。这样无论你最后可以走多远，你都是胜利的。
