The duty of man is the same in respect to his own nature as in respect to the nature of all other things, namely not to follow it but to amend it.
人对他自己的本性所负的责任，和对一切其他事物的本性所负的责任是一样的，即不去遵循它，而去修正它。
John Stuart Mill

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。

A novel makes it possible to understand not just events, but the people who control the events; not only their choices, but also their motives.
小说使我们不仅能够理解事件，而且能够理解控制事件的人;不仅是他们的选择，还有他们的动机。

Nature is at work. Character and destiny are her handiwork. She gives us love and hate, jealousy and reverence. All that is ours is the power to choose which impulse we shall follow.
大自然在起作用。性格和命运是她的杰作。她给予我们爱与恨、嫉妒与崇敬。我们所拥有的一切就是选择我们将追随哪一种冲动的力量。

It's true that humanity has seen a succession of crises, wars and atrocities, but this negative side is offset by advances in technology and cultural exchanges.
的确，人类经历了一连串的危机、战争和暴行，但科技和文化交流的进步抵消了这些负面影响。
