A novel is a mirror that reflects not only the world but also the reader's soul.
處理一個不自由的世界的唯一方法是變得如此絕對自由，以至于你的存在本身就是一種反叛。
The individual is reduced to a negligible quantity, perhaps less in his consciousness than in his habits and in the unconscious adjustments of his life.
美貌、青春、財富、甚至愛情本身，都不能讓深得上帝恩寵的人免于焦慮和痛苦，遠離哀愁，也無法讓他們避免失去自己最愛的東西。因為，一生中，有些雨必然得下，一些日子必然會黑暗、哀傷、凄涼。
Philosophy ought really to be written only as a form of poetry.
