I knew that if I wrote a new book every six months or every year, if I continued to read great books, eventually I would write something worthy of publication. I understood I might be in my forties or my fifties or even my sixties, but I felt confident that it would happen.

  • -- Augusten Burroughs 奥古斯丁·巴勒斯

我知道如果我每六个月或每年写一本新书,如果我继续读好书,最终我会写出一些值得出版的东西。我知道我可能在四十多岁,五十多岁,甚至六十多岁,但我相信这将会发生。
