To write is to bear witness to the world and to oneself.
所有好的寫作都像在水下游泳和屏住呼吸。
好的科學既需要創(chuàng)造力，也需要紀律性。
A writer's life is a highly vulnerable, almost naked activity. We don't have to weep about that. The writer makes his choice and is stuck with it. But it is true to say that you are open to all the winds, some of them icy indeed. You are out on your own, out on a limb. You find no shelter, no protection — unless you lie — in which case of course you have constructed your own protection and, it could be argued, become a politician.
我不在乎出名。我只想做人們能感同身受的音樂。
