寫作不是表演，而是一種慷慨。
"The dead are as real as the living, but in a different way."
逝者與生者同樣真實，只是方式不同。
"History is not what happened. History is just what historians tell us."
歷史不是發(fā)生過的事，歷史只是歷史學(xué)家告訴我們的故事。
"The past is what you remember, imagine you remember, convince yourself you remember, or pretend to remember."
過去是你記得的、想象中記得的、說服自己記得的或假裝記得的一切。
"To be a writer is to be interested in everything."
成為作家就意味著對一切都感興趣。
"The present is always an unstable place, the past is where you anchor yourself."
當(dāng)下總是不穩(wěn)定的所在，過去才是你錨定自我的地方。

事實并非真相，盡管它們是真相的一部分。
