小说不仅仅是一个故事；它是一面反映人类存在复杂性的镜子。

"Biography is the most intimate form of history."

If time travel is possible, where are the tourists from the future?

The known is finite, the unknown infinite; intellectually we stand on an islet in the midst of an illimitable ocean of inexplicability.  

我不喜欢做简单的事。我喜欢做有挑战性并能推动我的事。
