"Writing is a way of life, not just a profession."

The great secret that all old people share is that you really haven't changed in seventy or eighty years. Your body changes, but you don't change at all.

作家的任务是使熟悉的事物变得陌生，使陌生的事物变得熟悉。

We don't need more icons, we need more good buildings.

我们不会获得智慧；我们必须自己发现它，经过一段没有人能代替我们或免除我们的旅程。

Don't look for the needle in the haystack. Just buy the haystack!
