Nobody understands when a woman makes a choice to marry and have children, in one way her life begins, but in another way, it stops. You build a life of details, and you just stop and stay steady, so that your children can move. And when they leave,they take your life of details with them. You are expected to move on again, but you don't remember what it was that moved you, because no one's asked you in so long.Not even yourself.
On choosing friends: "Life's too short to hang out with people who aren't resourceful."
写作是一种爱的行为，是对现实和他人的承诺。
君子吃饭无求过饱，……做事要勤奋，说话要谨慎，并能接近有道理的人，向他学习，以纠正自己的缺点，这就可以说是好学的人了。
我写作是为了理解世界，也是为了让世界理解我。
