"A novel is a conversation across time."

真相总是被讲述出来的，而不是被知晓的。如果没有言语或文字，任何事情都不会有真相。存在的只有事实本身。

Whatever you're meant to do, do it now. The conditions are always impossible.

西方赢得了冷战，但它没有赢得和平。

The study of truth requires a considerable effort - which is why few are willing to undertake it out of love of knowledge - despite the fact that God has implanted a natural appetite for such knowledge in the minds of men.

The difference between a dream and reality is action.

译文：活着的人姑且活一天算一天，死去的人就永远不会复生了!

Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief.
