The imaginary is not formed in opposition to reality as its denial or compensation; it grows among signs, from book to book, in the interstice of repetitions and commentaries; it is born and takes shape in the interval between books.
想象并非作为现实的否定或补偿而形成；它在符号之间生长，从一本书到另一本书，在重复和评论的间隙中；它在书籍之间的间隔中诞生并成形。
我不害怕失败。我害怕不去尝试。
我们应该为人们的诞生而哭泣，而不是为他们的死亡。
我写作是为了理解那些无法理解的事物。
写作就是直面过去的幽灵，并赋予它们在当下的声音。
When I approach a child, he inspires in me two sentiments; tenderness for what he is, and respect for what he may become.
The Golden Rule will never fail you. It is the foundation of all other virtues.
