世界是一本伟大的书，从不离家的人只读了一页。

最令人兴奋的事情是当你突然看到一个困扰你很长时间的问题的解决方案时。

I don't sing for money, I sing for love.

译文：追求美好德行的人不会附和世俗，要建立非凡功业的人不会将自己事业让别人来决定。

The problem is, if you really believe in a society where those who merit to get to the top, get to the top, you'll also, by implication, and in a far more nasty way, believe in a society where those who deserve to get to the bottom also get to the bottom and stay there. I nother words, your position in life comes to seem not accidental, but merited and deserved. And that makes failure seem much more crushing.

小说是作家与读者跨越时间的对话。

历史是记忆的不完美与文献的不足相遇时产生的确定性。

个人的不是私人的；它是政治的。
