The artist must be in his work as God is in creation, invisible and all-powerful.

Writing is a way of survival.

成功不在于你赚了多少钱，而在于你对人们生活的影响。

I don’t like to be labeled. I’m not just an R&B singer. I’m not just a pop singer. I’m an artist.

I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people， and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park， listened carefully to me， and finally said， "That sounds like a really good idea， but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn't already have a good job." That logic made some sense to me， and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light， it really was a difficult choice， but ultimately， I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn't think I'd regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all. After much consideration， I took the less safe path to follow my passion， and I'm proud of that choice.

写作是一种自由的形式，在这里我们可以表达我们最深的思想。

The mind is not a mirror of the world, but an instrument for dealing with it.

People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.

最重要的是专注于长期愿景，而不是短期波动。
