"Poetry is what gets lost in translation - and also what survives."

语言是我们思想的镜子。

No man really knows about other human beings. The best he can do is to suppose that they are like himself.

"Books are the way that we communicate with the dead. The way that we learn lessons from those who are no longer with us, that humanity has built on itself, progressed, made knowledge incremental rather than something that has to be relearned, over and over."

世界上主要有两类人。第一类人有所成就，第二类人号称自己有所成就。第一类人不如第二类人那么多。
