和那些叫喊饥饿的人相比，那么吃饱了自然就快乐；和呼叫寒冷的人相比，那么得到温暖自然就快乐；和患病者相比，那么健康就会快乐；和祸患者相比，那么平安就快乐；和死去的人相比，活着就会快乐。

悲伤是爱的影子。

I think that the novel is the perfect form for exploring the complexities of human nature.

To look at a thing is very different from seeing a thing. One does not see anything until one sees its beauty. Then and then only, does it come into existence.
