A book, a true book, is the writer's confessional. For, whether he would have it so or not, he is betrayed, directly or indirectly, by his characters, into presenting publicly his innermost feelings.
一本书，一本真正的书，是作者的忏悔室。因为，不管他愿不愿意，他的性格直接或间接地背叛了他，使他不得不公开表达自己内心深处的感情。

Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become.
文学为现实添彩，而不是简单地描述现实。它丰富了日常生活所需和提供的必要能力;在这方面，它灌溉着我们的生活已经变成沙漠的土地。
