A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
书
Book
What we become depends on what we read after all of the professors have finished with us. The greatest university of all is a collection of books.
我们成为什么样的人，取决于我们在所有教授教完我们之后读了什么书。最伟大的大学是一所藏书的大学。
And they write innumerable books; being too vain and distracted for silence: seeking every one after his own elevation, and dodging his emptiness.

I slipped the book into my pocket. I assure you to leave off reading was like tearing myself away from the shelter of an old and solid friendship.
我把书塞进口袋。我向你保证，停止阅读就像从一段古老而牢固的友谊的庇护下挣脱出来。
The good, the admirable reader identifies himself not with the boy or the girl in the book, but with the mind that conceived and composed that book.
优秀的、令人钦佩的读者并不认同书中的男孩或女孩，而是认同构思和创作那本书的人。
I had neither expert aid nor advice. I studied no courses in writing; until a year or so ago, I never read a book by anybody advising writers how to write.
我既没有专家的帮助，也没有别人的建议。我没有学习写作方面的课程;直到大约一年前，我还从未读过有人给作家写建议的书。

I have seen men hazard their fortunes, go on long journeys halfway around the world, forge friendships, even lie, cheat and steal, all for the gain of a book.

I've heard rumors that the Petersons are writing a book. It will be very interesting to see what they have to say, but I don't know anything about the Rochas.

To sit alone in the lamplight with a book spread out before you, and hold intimate converse with men of unseen generations - such is a pleasure beyond compare.

A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint. What I began by reading, I must finish by acting.
一本真正的好书教会我的比读它更好。我必须马上把它放下，开始按照它的暗示生活。我从读书开始，必须从表演结束。
Only in the most unusual cases is it useful to determine whether a book is good or bad; for it is just as rare for it to be one or the other. It is usually both.
只有在最不寻常的情况下，判断一本书是好是坏才有用;因为这两者都是罕见的。通常两者都是。
One whose knowledge is confined to books and whose wealth is in the possession of others, can use neither his knowledge nor wealth when the need for them arises.
一个人的知识只局限于书本，而他的财富却掌握在别人的手中，当需要知识或财富时，他既不能使用知识，也不能使用财富。
KEEP EXPLORING

Electronic distribution is more of a fall-back strategy for putting out a book that isn't deemed profitable enough to print. You hardly make any money publishing an electronic book.
