Danh ngôn của Zadie Smith
I have an ambition to write a great book, but that's really a competition with myself. I've noticed that a lot of young writers, people in all media, want to be famous but they don't really want to do anything. I can't think of anything less worth striving for than fame.

Tôi có tham vọng viết một cuốn sách hay, nhưng đó thực sự là một cuộc cạnh tranh với chính mình. Tôi để ý thấy rất nhiều nhà văn trẻ, mọi người trên mọi phương tiện truyền thông, muốn nổi tiếng nhưng họ thực sự không muốn làm gì cả. Tôi không thể nghĩ ra điều gì ít đáng phấn đấu hơn sự nổi tiếng.
