小說《惡魔銅頭》
"We all have a responsibility to bear witness to what we see and to speak out against injustice."
我們都有責任見證我們所看到的，并大聲反對不公正。
"The most important thing is to tell the truth, and the second most important thing is to not tell all the truth."
最重要的事情是說實話，第二重要的事情是不要說出所有的真相。
"To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness."
在糟糕的時候抱有希望不僅僅是愚蠢的浪漫。這是基于人類歷史不僅是殘酷的歷史，也是同情、犧牲、勇氣和善良的歷史。
"The changes we dread most may contain our salvation."
我們最害怕的變化可能包含我們的救贖。
"Hope is a verb with its sleeves rolled up."
希望是一個卷起袖子的動詞。
"You can’t just sit down and write a book. That’s not how books get written. Books get written by living your life, by being open to the world, by paying attention."
你不能只是坐下來寫一本書。書不是那樣寫出來的。書是通過過你的生活，對世界開放，通過注意來寫出來的。
"The power is in the balance: we are our injuries, as much as we are our successes."
力量在于平衡：我們是我們的傷害，正如我們是我們的成功。
"Don’t try to make life a mathematics problem with yourself in the center and everything coming out equal. When you’re good, bad things can still happen. And if you’re bad, you can still be lucky."
不要試圖把生活變成一個以自己為中心的數(shù)學(xué)問題，一切都得出相等的答案。當你好的時候，壞事仍然可能發(fā)生。如果你不好，你仍然可能幸運。
"Memory is a complicated thing, a relative to truth, but not its twin."
記憶是一件復(fù)雜的事情，是真理的親戚，但不是它的雙胞胎。
"The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof."
你一生中最少能做的就是弄清楚你所希望的。而你能做的最多的就是活在那希望之中。不是遠遠地欣賞它，而是住在它的屋檐下。
