写作教会我的一件事是，小说有自己的生命。虚构的地方有时比我们卧室窗外的景色更真实。虚构的人有时会变得和我们所爱的人一样亲近。

Surely man was not created to be an idle fellow; he was not set in this universal orchard to stand still as a tree.
人并不是生来就懒惰的;他在这个世界的果园里，并不是要像一棵树一样静止不动。

The easiest kind of relationship is with ten thousand people, the hardest is with one.
最简单的关系是和一万个人在一起，最难的关系是和一个人在一起。
Joan Baez

We are biological creatures. We are born, we live, we die. There is no transcendent purpose to existence. At best we are creatures of reason, and by using reason we can cure ourselves of emotional excess. Purged of both hope and fear, we find courage in the face of helplessness, insignificance and uncertainty.
我们是生物。我们出生，我们生活，我们死亡。存在没有超越的目的。我们至多是理性的产物，通过理性，我们可以治愈自己的情感过剩。清除了希望和恐惧，我们在无助、渺小和不确定中找到了勇气。
