"The writer is a man who is always searching for the right word, the perfect word, the word that will make the reader see what he sees, feel what he feels, understand what he understands."

Life is not a series of gig lamps symmetrically arranged; life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end.

"Every story is a puzzle, and the writer's job is to put the pieces together in a way that reveals a deeper truth."

El escritor no es un creador, sino un descubridor de mundos.

译文：年轻的时候读书并没有取得深刻的理解，到了晚年的时候并没有付出多大努力却取得了惊人的成就。赏析：不管读书还是做事，我们要尽量做好，即使当时不理解，迟早有一天会明白其中的道理。年轻时不理解，是因为我们的社会阅历和人生经验不够丰富。

I don't believe in regrets. Regrets are a waste of time. They're the past crippling you in the present.
