You know that feeling when you finish a final exam and you think, 'I never want to do that again'? Well I have the same feeling when I finish a novel. Each time I say, 'I think I may retire now' and then after six months the ideas start to churn again. I could never stop.

  • -- Wilbur Smith 威尔伯·史密斯

你知道那种感觉吗?当你期末考试结束时，你想，‘我再也不想做那样的事了’?当我读完一本小说时，我也有同样的感觉。每次我说“我想我现在可以退休了”，六个月后，我的想法又开始翻腾起来。我停不下来。
