The primary thing writing and basketball share is the sense that each time you go out, each time you play or begin a piece, it's a new day. You can score 40 points one game, but the next game, those points don't count. You can win the Nobel Literature Prize, but that doesn't make the next sentence of the next book appear. John Edgar Wideman
写作和篮球分享是你每次出去玩的感觉，这是一个新的一天。一场比赛你可以得40分，但下一场比赛，这些分数并不重要。你可以赢得诺贝尔文学奖，但这不会使下一本书的下一句出现。约翰·埃德加·怀德曼（谷歌翻译仅供参考）
