Good writers are often excellent at a hundred other things, but writing promises a greater latitude for the ego.

People think that because a novel's invented, it isn't true. Exactly the reverse is the case. Biography and memoirs can never be wholly true, since they cannot include every conceivable circumstance of what happened. The novel can do that.
人们认为因为小说是虚构的，所以它不是真的。恰恰相反。传记和回忆录永远不可能是完全真实的，因为它们不可能包含所发生事情的每一个可以想象的情况。小说可以做到这一点。

To be a writer does not mean to preach a truth, it means to discover a truth.
成为一名作家并不意味着要宣扬真理，而是要发现真理。

The books that help you most are those which make you think the most. The hardest way of learning is that of easy reading; but a great book that comes from a great thinker is a ship of thought, deep freighted with truth and beauty.
帮助你最多的书是那些让你思考最多的书。最难的学习方法是轻松阅读;但是，伟大的思想家所写的伟大著作是思想的航船，满载着真善美。
Theodore Parker

Science has a simple faith, which transcends utility. It is the faith that it is the privilege of man to learn to understand, and that this is his mission.
科学有一种超越实用的简单信念。这是一种信念，即学习理解是人类的特权，这是人类的使命。

Books are the most mannerly of companions, accessible at all times, in all moods, frankly declaring the author's mind, without offense.
书籍是最彬彬有礼的伙伴，在任何时候、任何心情下都可以接近，毫无冒犯之意地坦率地表达作者的思想。
