The world is so unpredictable. Things happen suddenly, unexpectedly. We want to feel we are in control of our own existence. In some ways we are, in some ways we're not. We are ruled by the forces of chance and coincidence.
世界是如此不可预测。事情突然发生,出乎意料。我们想要感觉我们能掌控自己的存在。在某些方面我们是,在某些方面我们不是。我们被偶然和巧合的力量所支配。
The deeper you go into memory, the less certain you become.
"A book is a conversation across time."
如果我们能意识到武力永远无法赢得合作与爱,这个世界就可以避免无数的紧张关系,不用做那么多的无用功。
