The task of philosophy is not to provide answers, but to clarify questions.
哲学的任务不是提供答案，而是澄清问题。
The novel is a protest against the irreversibility of time.
I like the stars. It's the illusion of permanence, I think. I mean, they're always flaring up and caving in and going out. But from here, I can pretend...I can pretend that things last. I can pretend that lives last longer than moments. Gods come, and gods go. Mortals flicker and flash and fade. Worlds don't last; and stars and galaxies are transient, fleeting things that twinkle like fireflies and vanish into cold and dust. But I can pretend.
当一个人意识到自己被深深倾听时，他的眼睛会湿润。我想在某种程度上，他是喜极而泣。就好像他在说：“感谢上帝，有人听到了我。有人知道我的感受。”
现实总是比小说更丰富、更复杂。
