小说是一个你可以握在手中的世界。

The only thing you can do is give all you have on that particular day.

出自唐代龙牙居遁禅师《偈颂并序·其四十三》，意思是我虽然以花木水果为食，以树木草皮为衣，但我的心境却像那高悬夜空的明月一样，清澈而宁静；我一生不妄求、不计较、不执着，人到无求品自高，人到无念便安闲。一生无念，并不是放弃追求，而是一种放下执着，放下无谓的忧虑，放下不切实际的幻想，心无旁骛的生活态度。人生有许多不可知的偶然，或许在放下的瞬间，就会有意想不到的新天地。

新发现的获得往往包含意外因素。

What we gain by experience is more real and more solid than what we gain by reasoning.

我不是说唱歌手，我是一个普利策奖得主。

Start with what is right rather than what is acceptable.

That is one hard truth.It's hard to put a leash on a dog once you've put a crown on its head.
