有时最难的案子是那些离家最近的。

Nowadays, particularly in the United States, if you meet someone at the bottom of society, they may unkindly be described as a "loser."

We're in the driving seat.

伟大的小说是作者与读者跨越时空的对话。

译文：坏人未必天生就坏，往往是习惯成了本性(梁上君子典故)。

"With a library you are free, not confined by temporary political climates. It is the most democratic of institutions because no one - but no one at all - can tell you what to read and when and how."

希望是让我们继续前进的东西，即使道路黑暗。
