The role of literature is to confront the darkness within us and to find a way to overcome it.

"Die Vergangenheit ist nie tot, sie ist nicht einmal vergangen."

Even as a child she had lived her own small life within herself. At a very early period she had apprehended instinctively the dual life - that outward existence which conforms, the inward life which questions.

人は、自分が死ぬために、他人を生かす。

只有当我们忘记死者时，他们才对我们死去。

译文：在平淡中交往的朋友，往往能长久维持；在平静安稳的环境生活，往往会延年益寿。赏析：君子之交淡如水。真正的朋友是看重对方的人品才交往的。清净养生，喧嚣伤身。安静的生活环境，平和的处事心态，方能益寿延年。

True knowledge comes from inner insight.

读者的诞生必须以作者的死亡为代价。
