I feel sorry for people who have to edit me. Which is why book writing is by far the most enjoyable. Really the only thing it's based on is whether it's good or not. No book editor, in my experience, is getting a manuscript and try to rewrite it.

  • -- Chuck Klosterman 恰克·克罗斯特曼

我为那些不得不编辑我的人感到遗憾。这就是为什么写书是迄今为止最令人愉快的。它唯一的依据就是它是否好。以我的经验,没有一个图书编辑会拿着一份手稿,然后试图重写它。
