A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
东西
Something
Probably I, like a lot of people, became a writer in imitation of or in homage to the books I enjoyed. When you're so captivated by something, you think, could I do that? Hmm, let me try.
也许我和很多人一样,成为一名作家是为了模仿或向我喜欢的书致敬。当你被某件事深深吸引时,你会想,我能做到吗?嗯,让我试试。
When you are caring about your children perhaps you always have to remember at what point you can become over involved because of something you need rather than something the child needs.

We get on the bandwagon in all sorts of ways - you know minor ways and major ways - like what you've just encountered which isn't censorship exactly, it was something sort of uglier in a way.

We have confirmed something we only knew in theory, namely that revolution, in which uncontrolled and uncontrollable forces operate imperiously, is blind and destructive, grandiose and cruel.

I always felt like something of an outsider. But I identified with people up on the screen. That made me feel like I wanted to be up on the screen too. I felt like eventually I would get there.

You have to imagine it possible before you can see something. You can have the evidence right in front of you, but if you can't imagine something that has never existed before, it's impossible.
在你看到一些东西之前,你必须想象它是可能的。证据就在你面前,但是如果你不能想象以前从未存在过的东西,那是不可能的。
I have become my own version of an optimist. If I can't make it through one door, I'll go through another door - or I'll make a door. Something terrific will come no matter how dark the present.
我成了自己版本的乐观主义者。如果我不能通过一扇门,我会通过另一扇门——或者我要做一扇门。无论现在多么黑暗,可怕的事情总会发生。
Love. Fall in love and stay in love. Write only what you love, and love what you write. The key word is love. You have to get up in the morning and write something you love, something to live for.

The thing about all my food is that everything is a remembered flavor. Maybe it's something I had as a child or maybe it's something I had in Milan, but I want it to taste better than you ever thought.
我所有的食物都是一种令人难忘的味道。也许是我小时候吃的,也许是我在米兰吃的,但我想让它尝起来比你想象的更好。

这就是我活下来的原因,因为我仍然相信我还有话要说。
You can hold yourself back from the sufferings of the world, that is something you are free to do and it accords with your nature, but perhaps this very holding back is the one suffering you could avoid.

Well, I used to have a sister, but I never got to meet her because she died after two days, I think. So if I got a tattoo, it would probably have to be something to do with my sister. I actually want to get a tattoo when I'm older of something about her.
嗯,我以前有个妹妹,但是我从来没有见过她,因为她两天后就死了,我想。所以如果我有纹身,很可能和我妹妹有关。等我长大了,我真想给她纹个纹身。
