You write because you have an idea in your mind that feels so genuine, so important, so true. And yet, by the time this idea passes through the different filters of your mind, and into your hand, and onto the page or computer screen - it becomes distorted, and it's been diminished.

  • -- Khaled Hosseini 哈立德·侯赛尼

你写作是因为你心中有一个想法,它让你感觉如此真实,如此重要,如此真实。然而,当这个想法通过你大脑中不同的过滤器,进入你的手中,进入你的页面或电脑屏幕时,它就被扭曲了,被削弱了。
