Everything a writer learns about the art or craft of fiction takes just a little away from his need or desire to write at all. In the end he knows all the tricks and has nothing to say.

-- Raymond Chandler 雷蒙德·钱德勒

一个作家对小说艺术或工艺的了解，只会使他对写作的需要或欲望减少一点点。最后他知道了所有的诀窍，却无话可说。

I know things are going to work out. I don't have those guarantees in life. There are no consequences on stage.
