Novels for me are how I find out what's going on in my own head. And so that's a really useful and indeed critical thing to do when you do as many of these other things as I do.

任何被设计成无害的东西都不值得你浪费时间——生命本身就是相当无礼的，就像它以死亡告终一样。
Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite.
不要在主题上使用太大的词。当你的意思是“非常”时，不要说“无穷大”;否则，当你想谈论一些真正无限的东西时，你就会无话可说。
