A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
写作
Writing
I must write it all out, at any cost. Writing is thinking. It is more than living, for it is being conscious of living.
我必须不惜一切代价把它写出来。写作是思维。它不仅仅是生活，因为它是有意识的生活。
The purpose of writing is to hold a mirror to nature, but too much today is written from small mirrors in vanity cases.
写作的目的是拿起一面反映自然的镜子，但今天太多的东西都是用小镜子在虚荣的情况下写出来的。
My job is to inspire others to live full lives. Whether I do that through my writing or my actions are one in the same.
我的工作是激励别人过充实的生活。无论是通过写作，还是通过行动，我都是一样的。
A new word. Bright with possibilities. A flawless pearl to turn over and over in my hand, then put away for safekeeping.
一个新单词。明亮的可能性。一颗无暇的珍珠在我手中翻来覆去，然后收起来妥善保管。
Words are sacred. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones, in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.
字是神圣的。他们应该得到尊重。如果你用正确的方法，按照正确的顺序，你可以推动世界一点点。
A true writer should be able to write about any color. It's the story they tell that should affect people, not the race.
一个真正的作家应该能够写任何颜色。影响人们的应该是他们讲述的故事，而不是种族。
I like writing better. Because I don't have to wear makeup, I don't have to be thin, and I don't have to remember lines.
我更喜欢写作。因为我不需要化妆，我不需要变瘦，我不需要记住台词。
Madame, all stories, if continued far enough, end in death, and he is no true-story teller who would keep that from you.
夫人，所有的故事，如果继续讲下去，最后都会以死亡而告终，而他并不是一个不让您知道这件事的讲真话的人。
The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.
正确的单词和几乎正确的单词之间的区别就像闪电和闪电虫之间的区别一样。
For a long time now I have tried simply to write the best I can. Sometimes I have good luck and write better than I can.
很长一段时间以来，我一直试图尽我所能写出最好的作品。有时候我运气好，写得比我能写的更好。
I really don't know what I am going to do in terms of what a book is going to be about until I actually start writing it!
在我真正开始写一本书之前，我真的不知道我要写一本什么样的书!
Take a writer away from his typewriter and all you have left is the sickness that started him writing in the first place.
如果一个作家离开了打字机，你所能做的就是让他从一开始就开始写作的疾病。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
A good story should provoke discussion, debate, argument...and the occasional bar fight.
一个好的故事应该引发讨论、辩论、辩论……偶尔的酒吧斗殴。
No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader.
没有作家的眼泪，就没有读者的眼泪。作家不感到惊讶，读者也不感到惊讶。

我从来不想和一个写得比读得多的人交谈。
A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic.
一本书证明了人类有能力使用魔法。
Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.
即使在文学和艺术领域，也没有人为原创而烦恼的人永远不会是原创的。相反，如果你只是想说真话(不在乎别人告诉你多少次)，十有八九你会在没有注意到的情况下变得原创。
There is no way of writing stories that I haven't done.
我没有写过我没有写过的故事。
