The writer’s loyalty must be to literature, not to ideology.

"The best stories are the ones that make you think, that stay with you long after you've finished reading them."

"O escritor é um eterno insatisfeito, sempre em busca da palavra perfeita."

每一颗播种的种子都是对未来的押注——明智选择。

But nothing that can be said can begin to take away the anguish and the pain of these moments. Grief is the price we pay for love.
