“Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it.
Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”

“Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life.
Almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet, death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it, and that is how it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It's life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.”

“Họ muốn con mình có bằng cấp của Tây, nhưng nếu chúng thấm nhuần văn hoá và suy nghĩ phương Tây - ví dụ con gái không chịu lấy chồng hay con trai mà đi học triết học - thì họ sẽ rất hốt hoảng. Người Việt không muốn thành phương Tây đâu, họ chỉ mơ cuộc sống vật chất phương Tây mà thôi. Có thể nói là giấc mơ phương Tây bị mắc kẹt trong cái bảo thủ phương Đông.”
