我们是孤独的动物。我们一生都在努力减少孤独感。我们古老的方法之一是讲述一个故事，恳求听者说——并感受到——“是的，事情就是这样，或者至少我是这样感觉的。”
We are lonesome animals. We spend all our life trying to be less lonesome. One of our ancient methods is to tell a story begging the listener to say — and to feel — 'Yes, that's the way it is, or at least that's the way I feel it.'
我认为，一个人在青年时期得到如此训练，使身体随时听命于意志，便是受过博雅教育。
What's terrible is to pretend that second-rate is first-rate. To pretend that you don't need love when you do; or you like your work when you know quite well you're capable of better.
