One of the things that writing has taught me is that fiction has a life of its own. Fictional places are sometimes more real than the view from our bedroom window. Fictional people can sometimes become as close to us as our loved ones.
写作教会我的一件事是，小说有自己的生命。虚构的地方有时比我们卧室窗外的景色更真实。虚构的人有时会变得和我们所爱的人一样亲近。

As human beings, we need to know that we are not alone, that we are not crazy or completely out of our minds, that there are other people out there who feel as we do, live as we do, love as we do, who are like us.
作为人类，我们需要知道我们并不孤单，我们没有发疯或完全失去理智，还有其他人和我们有同样的感受，和我们一样生活，和我们一样爱，和我们一样。

The cause of justice is the cause of humanity. Its advocates should overflow with universal good will. We should love this cause, for it conduces to the general happiness of mankind.
正义的事业就是人类的事业。它的倡导者应该洋溢着普遍的善意。我们应该热爱这项事业，因为它有助于人类的普遍幸福。
