When I was in my twenties and broke, I'd buy books before food. A meal will sustain you for a few hours, a good book will sustain you for life.

-- Gabrielle Zevin 加·泽文

当我二十多岁身无分文的时候，我会先买书再买食物。一顿饭可以支撑你几个小时，一本好书可以支撑你一生。

A book is like a pump. It gives nothing unless first you give to it. You prime a pump with your own water, you work the handle with your own strength. You do this because you expect to get back more than you give.

一本书就像一个泵。它不会给你任何东西，除非你先给予它。你用你自己的水启动水泵，你用你自己的力量操纵手柄。你这样做是因为你期望得到的比你付出的多。
