"What's terrible is to pretend that the second-rate is first-rate. To pretend that you don't need love when you do; or you like your work when you know quite well you're capable of better."
The truth is not beautiful, but it is necessary.
"The act of writing is an act of optimism. You wouldn't take the trouble to do it if you felt it didn't matter."
我不相信鬼魂,但我總是看到它們。
最好的書是讓你感到活著的書。
