更多好句 ↗The good of a book lies in its being read. A book is made up of signs that speak of other signs, which in their turn speak of things. Without an eye to read them, a book contains signs that produce no concepts; therefore it is dumb.
书的好处在于被人阅读。书是由一些符号组成的,这些符号代表着其他符号,而这些符号又代表着事物。如果没有眼睛去阅读,一本书所包含的符号就不会产生任何概念;所以它是哑的。
Umberto Eco
翁贝托·埃科
Books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a potency of life in them to be as active as that soul was whose progeny they are; nay they do preserve as in a vial the purest efficacy and extraction of that living intellect that bred them.
书并不是绝对没有生命的东西,但书中确实包含着生命的力量,使之像它的后代那样活跃;不,它们确实像小瓶一样,保存着孕育它们的活生生的智慧的最纯粹的效力和精华。
John Milton
约翰·米尔顿
I get letters from readers who say that they have always hated reading, but somebody suggested one of my books, they actually finished the book and enjoyed it, and they're going on to read another book. I'm thrilled that they have figured out that reading is fun.
我收到一些读者的来信,他们说他们一直讨厌阅读,但有人推荐了我的一本书,他们实际上读完了这本书,而且很喜欢,他们还打算读另一本书。我很高兴他们发现阅读很有趣。
Caroline B. Cooney
卡罗琳·B·库尼
All that mankind has done, thought or been: it is lying as in magic preservation in the pages of books.
人类所做的、想过的或曾经做过的一切,都像魔法一样保存在书页之中。
Thomas Carlyle
托马斯·卡莱尔
I hope in my books I help children to see their strengths, and show them I have some idea of what they may occasionally be going through. Especially at tricky moments when it is easier to go back and evade things rather than go forwards and confront them.
我希望在我的书中,我能帮助孩子们看到他们的优点,并向他们展示我对他们偶尔可能经历的事情有一些了解。尤其是在棘手的时刻,回到过去逃避事情比向前面对事情更容易。

I don't care what they do with my book so long as the flippin check clears.
我不在乎他们怎么处理我的书,只要支票兑现就行。
