I wanted to build something that was my own, something I could point to and say, I made that. It was the only way I saw to make life meaningful.

I don't let anyone control me.

I’ve always been attracted to the idea of a voice that is absolutely authoritative and yet absolutely humble.

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

我不知道我是否有哲学。我只是尽力写出最好的书。

生活是一系列自然和自发的变化。不要抗拒它们；那只会带来悲伤。让现实成为现实。让事物以它们喜欢的方式自然流动。
