There's lots of things that can't make it in the world that are worth making. There are lots of great artists who never make it, there are lots of great writers who don't get published - is it still worthwhile? Aren't we glad people are still doing it?

  • -- Dana Spiotta 达娜·斯皮奥塔

世界上有很多不值得去做的事情。有很多伟大的艺术家没有成功,有很多伟大的作家没有发表作品——这还值得吗?我们难道不高兴人们还在这样做吗?
