I've wanted to be a writer since I was a boy, though it seemed an unlikely outcome since I showed no real talent. But I persevered and eventually found my own row to hoe. Ignorance of other writers' work keeps me from discouragement and I am less well-read than the average bus driver.

  • -- Garrison Keillor 加里森·凯勒

我从小就想成为一名作家,尽管这似乎不太可能,因为我没有显示出真正的才华。但我坚持了下来,最终找到了自己的那排锄头。对其他作家作品的无知使我不会灰心丧气,我的阅读量也不如一般的公共汽车司机。
