身边的人都不能亲近，就不要希望招徕远方的人。 

故事是作者写给自己的信，用来告诉自己那些无法以其他方式发现的事情。

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

Stories you read when you're the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called. Sometimes you'll forget precisely what happened, but if a story touches you it will stay with you, haunting the places in your mind that you rarely ever visit.

"If you feel like you're losing everything, remember that trees lose their leaves every year and they still stand tall and wait for better days."
