There is no point treating a depressed person as though she were just feeling sad, saying, 'There now, hang on, you'll get over it.' Sadness is more or less like a head cold- with patience, it passes. Depression is like cancer.

一个故事可以改变世界，一次一个读者。

心灵不是一个结构而是一个过程。

没有艺术；没有文学；没有社会；最糟糕的是，持续不断的恐惧和暴力死亡的威胁；人的生活孤独、贫困、肮脏、野蛮而短暂。

终极情境——死亡、机会、罪恶和世界的不确定性——使人面对他存在的现实。
