语言不是一种文化产物,不像我们学习报时或了解联邦政府运作那样。相反,它是我们大脑生物构成的一个独特部分。
Language is not a cultural artifact that we learn the way we learn to tell time or how the federal government works. Instead, it is a distinct piece of the biological makeup of our brains.
"Every story is a journey, and every journey is a story."
Sit down before fact as a little child, be prepared to give up every preconceived notion, follow humbly wherever and to whatever abysses nature leads, or you shall learn nothing.  
The beauty of literature is that it allows us to live a thousand lives.
