The story is not in the plot; the plot is the net you throw over the story to catch it.
故事不在情節(jié)中；情節(jié)是你用來捕捉故事的網(wǎng)。
A rat in a maze is free to go anywhere, as long as it stays inside the maze.
迷宮中的老鼠可以自由地去任何地方，只要它待在迷宮里。
Better never means better for everyone... It always means worse, for some.
The story is told by the dead, and the dead have no need for lies.
故事是由死者講述的，而死者不需要謊言。
There is more than one kind of freedom... Freedom to and freedom from. In the days of anarchy, it was freedom to. Now you are being given freedom from. Don't underrate it.
自由不止一種……自由去做和自由免于。在無政府狀態(tài)的日子里，是自由去做?，F(xiàn)在你被給予了自由免于。不要低估它。
The moment of betrayal is the worst, the moment when you know beyond any doubt that you've been betrayed: that some other human being has wished you that much evil.
背叛的那一刻是最糟糕的，當你毫無疑問地知道你被背叛的那一刻：另一個人對你懷有那么多的惡意。
We thought we had such problems. How were we to know we were happy?
我們以為我們有這么多問題。我們怎么知道我們是幸福的？
不要讓那些混蛋把你磨碎。
Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.
Better never means better for everyone... It always means worse, for some.
Ignoring isn’t the same as ignorance, you have to work at it.
The story you are about to read is a work of fiction. The names, characters, places, and incidents are either the product of the author's imagination or are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, events, or locales is entirely coincidental.
你即將閱讀的故事是一部虛構(gòu)作品。其中的名字、人物、地點和事件要么是作者想象的產(chǎn)物，要么是虛構(gòu)使用的。與實際存在的人物、事件或地點有任何相似之處純屬巧合。
