塞斯·諾特博姆
荷蘭文學(xué)巨匠，作品深刻探討人性
"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes."
真正的發(fā)現(xiàn)之旅不在于尋找新的風(fēng)景，而在于擁有新的眼光。
"A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it."
旅程就像婚姻。認(rèn)為你控制它肯定是錯(cuò)誤的。
旅程就是目的地。
"To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries."
旅行就是發(fā)現(xiàn)每個(gè)人對(duì)其他國家的看法都是錯(cuò)誤的。
"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page."
世界是一本書，不旅行的人只讀了一頁。
"Every city has a sex and an age which have nothing to do with demography."
每個(gè)城市都有性別和年齡，這與人口統(tǒng)計(jì)無關(guān)。
"The past is always tense, the future perfect."
過去總是緊張的，未來是完美的。
記憶就像一只狗，它喜歡躺在哪里就躺在哪里。
"Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things: air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky - all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it."
旅行是一種殘酷。它迫使你信任陌生人，失去所有熟悉的家庭和朋友的舒適感。你不斷地失去平衡。除了基本的東西：空氣、睡眠、夢(mèng)想、海洋、天空——所有趨向于永恒或我們想象中的永恒的東西，沒有什么是屬于你的。
"We read to know we're not alone."
我們閱讀是為了知道我們并不孤單。
