The smartest thing I did in law school: asking my future wife to go out dancing with me. The smartest thing I did when practicing law: quitting. The smartest thing I've done in writing: following my own head and writing what I wanted to write, and nothing but.

  • -- Ben Fountain 本喷泉

我在法学院做的最聪明的一件事就是邀请我未来的妻子和我一起出去跳舞。当我从事法律工作时,我做的最明智的一件事是:辞职。我在写作中做过的最聪明的事:跟随自己的想法,写下我想写的东西,除此之外别无他法。
