小說《惡魔銅頭》
People are cruelest to those they love.
人們對(duì)他們所愛的人最殘忍。
The power is in the balance: we are our injuries, as much as we are our successes.
力量在于平衡：我們既是我們的傷害，也是我們的成功。
You can't stop the future, You can't rewind the past, The only way to learn the secret...is to press play.
你無法阻止未來，你無法倒回過去，學(xué)習(xí)秘密的唯一方法……就是按下播放鍵。
The friend who holds your hand and says the wrong thing is made of dearer stuff than the one who stays away.
那個(gè)握著你的手卻說了錯(cuò)話的朋友，比那個(gè)遠(yuǎn)離你的朋友更珍貴。
Insanity is repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results.
瘋狂就是重復(fù)同樣的錯(cuò)誤并期待不同的結(jié)果。
Close the door. Write with no one looking over your shoulder. Don't try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say. It's the one and only thing you have to offer.
關(guān)上門。寫作時(shí)不要讓別人看著你的肩膀。不要試圖弄清楚別人想從你這里聽到什么；弄清楚你要說什么。這是你唯一能提供的東西。
The changes we dread most may contain our salvation.
我們最害怕的變化可能包含著我們的救贖。
There is no point treating a depressed person as though she were just feeling sad, saying, 'There now, hang on, you'll get over it.' Sadness is more or less like a head cold- with patience, it passes. Depression is like cancer.
把抑郁癥患者當(dāng)作只是感到悲傷來對(duì)待是沒有意義的，說‘好了，堅(jiān)持住，你會(huì)挺過去的?！瘋蚨嗷蛏傧窀忻啊心托?，它會(huì)過去。抑郁癥就像癌癥。
Memory is a complicated thing, a relative to truth, but not its twin.
記憶是一件復(fù)雜的事情，是真相的親戚，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.
你一生中最起碼要做的事情是弄清楚你所希望的。而你能做的最多的事情就是活在那個(gè)希望之中。不是遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)地欣賞它，而是直接生活在它的庇護(hù)之下。
