I'm blessed in my good friends, and some of them happen to be writers, though that's almost never what our friendships are about. And every writer I've ever read, living or dead, has in one way or another helped and inspired. I have a feeling it's important not to mix the two up.

我很幸运有我的好朋友,他们中的一些人碰巧是作家,尽管这几乎从来不是我们友谊的意义所在。我所读过的每一位作家,无论是在世的还是去世的,都以这样或那样的方式给予我帮助和启发。我觉得重要的是不要把两者混淆。

Most men remember obligations, but are not often likely to be grateful; the proud are made sour by the remembrance and the vain silent.
