貌似无所不能的作家。
聪明不只一点点。当你自以为世上无双的心事被他点透的时候，除了暗自恼怒，只有低低叫绝

Dave, rest in peace.
"If you can think of times in your life that you've treated people with extraordinary decency and love, and pure uninterested concern, just because they were valuable as human beings. The ability to do that with ourselves. To treat ourselves the way we would treat a really good, precious friend. Or a tiny child of ours that we absolutely loved more than life itself. And I think it's probably possible to achieve that. I think part of the job we're here for is to learn how to do it. I know that sounds a little pious."
