作家的职责是质疑、挑战并阐明生活的复杂性。
"A book is a conversation with the dead."
"I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do."
I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.
