不是
I'm not a poet, I'm a trapeze artist.
"Memory is a strange thing. It doesn't work like I thought it did. We are so used to thinking of it as a camera or a tape recorder, but it's not like that at all. It's more like a painter. It creates a picture, but it's not always the same picture."
The stories are not autobiographical, but they're personal in that way. I seem to know only the things that I've learned. Probably some things through observation, but what I feel I know surely is personal.
I want the reader to feel something is astonishing. Not the 'what happens,' but the way everything happens. These long short story fictions do this best, for me.
The language of poetry is a language of exploration, not of communication.
The true subject of the novel is not the story, but the human soul.
"Art is not a mirror to reflect reality, but a hammer with which to shape it."
"I am not a person who can be easily categorized, and I think that is a good thing."
"The greatest tragedy is not the brutality of the bad people, but the silence of the good people."
"The world is not a stage, but a madhouse. The actors are not performers, but inmates."
"Power is never innocent, and innocence is never powerful."
"I am not a writer who writes to entertain. I write to provoke thought and challenge the status quo."
人は、自分のために生きるのではなく、誰かのために生きることで、初めて自分らしさを見つけることができる。
夢は、追いかけるものではなく、創り出すものだ。
人生は、自分で選んだものではない。でも、選んだものだ。
The truth is rarely pure and never simple.
夢は、追いかけるものではなく、追いかけられるものだ。
