把这一句，留给此刻的你
To produce a mighty book, you must choose a mighty theme. No great and enduring volume can ever be written on the flea, though many there be that have tried it.
要写出一本伟大的书，你必须选择一个伟大的主题。跳蚤身上永远写不出一本伟大而不朽的书，虽然有许多人试过它。
— Herman Melville 赫尔曼·梅尔维尔

Samuel Johnson

每次你走上舞台或面对镜头，整个练习都是关于想象力的。你总是在描绘一些不存在的东西，并试图找到它的真实。一旦你确定了这个前提，其他一切都只是程度的问题。

Wherever you write is supposed to be a little bit of a refuge, a place where you can get away from the world. The more closed in you are, the more you're forced back on your own imagination.
无论你在哪里写作，都应该是一个小小的避难所，一个你可以远离这个世界的地方。你越封闭，你就越被迫回到自己的想象中。
