The novel is a mirror walking down the road.

The line between good and evil is permeable and anyone can cross it.

Singing is not only about skill, but also about communication of the soul.

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

对认可的渴望是最基本的人类渴望，它是人类历史上最伟大成就和最伟大悲剧的源泉。

I am extraordinarily patient, provided I get my own way in the end.

As a kid， I spent my summers with my grandparents on their ranch in Texas. I helped fix windmills， vaccinate cattle， and do other chores. We also watched soap operas every afternoon， especially "Days of our Lives." My grandparents belonged to a Caravan Club， a group of Airstream trailer owners who travel together around the U.S. and Canada. And every few summers， we'd join the caravan. We'd hitch up the Airstream trailer to my grandfather's car， and off we'd go， in a line with 300 other Airstream adventurers. I loved and worshipped my grandparents and I really looked forward to these trips. On one particular trip， I was about 10 years old. I was rolling around in the big bench seat in the back of the car. My grandfather was driving. And my grandmother had the passenger seat. She smoked throughout these trips， and I hated the smell.
