"Every novel is a journey, both for the writer and the reader."

When men are most sure and arrogant they are commonly most mistaken， giving views to passion without that proper deliberation which alone can secure them from the grossest absurdities.

我不会让消极情绪击垮我。

上帝会原谅我；这是他的工作。

I don't regret anything I've ever done in my life, any choice that I've made. But I'm consumed with regret for the things I didn't do.

The only truly secure system is one that is powered off, cast in a block of concrete and sealed in a lead-lined room with armed guards - and even then I have my doubts.

A great novel is a conversation between the author and the reader across time and space.

Don't let anyone ever dull your sparkle.
