小说是一种总体化的形式;它试图涵盖人类的全部经验。
The novel is a totalizing form; it tries to encompass all of human experience.
建筑应该诉说它的时代和地点,但渴望永恒。
The cost of inaction is far greater than the cost of action.
Science is the great antidote to the poison of enthusiasm and superstition.
地质时间不仅漫长,而且复杂,过程以截然不同的速率运行。
我相信书籍有改变生活的力量。
