"It is impossible to go through life without trust: that is to be imprisoned in the worst cell of all, oneself."
"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."
背叛的時(shí)刻是最糟糕的,當(dāng)你毫無疑問地知道自己被背叛了:另一個(gè)人對(duì)你懷有如此多的惡意。
"The great advantage of being a writer is that you can spy on people. You're there, listening to every word, but part of you is observing. Everything is useful to a writer, every scrap, even the longest and most boring of luncheon parties."
"Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose, or paint can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic and fear which is inherent in a human situation."

"The great advantage of being a writer is that you can spy on people. You're there, listening to every word, but part of you is observing. Everything is useful to a writer, every scrap, even the longest and most boring of luncheon parties."
作為一個(gè)作家的巨大優(yōu)勢(shì)是你可以窺探人們。你在那里,聽著每一個(gè)字,但你的一部分在觀察。對(duì)作家來說,一切都是有用的,每一片碎片,甚至是最長(zhǎng)最無聊的午餐會(huì)。

當(dāng)我們本應(yīng)更明智地保護(hù)自己免受其害時(shí),純真總是默默地呼喚保護(hù):純真就像一個(gè)失去了鈴鐺的啞巴麻風(fēng)病人,漫游世界,無意傷害。
"The moment of birth is when we have the most to lose."
出生的那一刻是我們失去最多的時(shí)候。
"It is impossible to go through life without trust: that is to be imprisoned in the worst cell of all, oneself."

"The truth has never been of any real value to any human being - it is a symbol for mathematicians and philosophers to pursue. In human relations kindness and lies are worth a thousand truths."
真相對(duì)任何人都沒有真正的價(jià)值——它是數(shù)學(xué)家和哲學(xué)家追求的象征。在人際關(guān)系中,善意和謊言勝過千言萬語的真實(shí)。
