Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.
也许旅行不能阻止偏见，但通过展示所有人的哭泣、欢笑、吃饭、担忧和死亡，它可以引入这样一种观念:如果我们试着去理解彼此，我们甚至可能成为朋友。

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。

No race can prosper until it learns that there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem. It is at the bottom of life we must begin, and not at the top.
只有当一个民族意识到耕种田地和写诗一样有尊严时，这个民族才能繁荣昌盛。我们必须从生命的最底层开始，而不是从最顶层开始。

We can continue to learn generation after generation and now is time to begin to learn how to love in a non-discriminatory way because we are intelligent enough, but we are not loving enough as a species.
我们可以一代又一代地继续学习，现在是时候开始学习以一种非歧视性的方式去爱了，因为我们足够聪明，但作为一个物种，我们的爱还不够。

Art is a fruit that grows in man, like a fruit on a plant, or a child in its mother's womb.
艺术是生长在人体内的果实，就像生长在植物上的果实，或生长在母亲子宫里的孩子。
