A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
书
Book
Every book is a quotation; and every house is a quotation out of all forests, and mines, and stone quarries; and every man is a quotation from all his ancestors.
每一本书都是一句名言;每一所房子都是森林、矿山和采石场的报价单;每个人都是他祖先的语录。
The good parts of a book may be only something a writer is lucky enough to overhear or it may be the wreck of his whole damn life and one is as good as the other.
一本书好的部分可能只是一个作家偶然听到的，也可能是他整个该死的生活的毁灭，而其中的一部分和另一部分一样好。
I love graphic design. I love working with design, and I love storytelling, so I've been working on a children's book for a while, and I'd like to see that through.
我喜欢平面设计。我喜欢和设计打交道，我喜欢讲故事，所以我已经写了一段时间的儿童读物，我想把它读完。
Leave all the afternoon for exercise and recreation, which are as necessary as reading. I will rather say more necessary because health is worth more than learning.
把整个下午都用来锻炼和娱乐，这和读书一样必要。我宁愿说更有必要，因为健康比学习更有价值。
Every book I've written has been a different attempt to understand something, and the success or failure of the previous one is irrelevant. I write the book I want.
我写的每一本书都是不同的理解尝试，而前一本书的成功或失败是无关紧要的。我写我想要的书。
I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.
我仍然觉得每一天都太短了，我无法去想所有的事情，我无法去散步，我无法读所有的书，我无法去见所有的朋友。
Even though I may not intend it when I set out to write the book, these places just emerge as major players in what I'm doing, almost as if they are insisting on it.
尽管在我开始写这本书的时候，我可能并不打算这么做，但这些地方在我所做的事情中扮演着重要角色，几乎就像他们坚持要这么做一样。
In the book, I make the point that here we have string theory and here we have twistor theory and we don't know if either one of them is the right approach to nature.
在书中，我指出，这里我们有弦理论，这里我们有扭理论，我们不知道它们中的任何一个是否对自然是正确的。
After all manner of professors have done their best for us, the place we are to get knowledge is in books. The true university of these days is a collection of books.
在所有的教授都为我们尽了最大的努力之后，我们获得知识的地方就是书本。当今真正的大学是一所藏书的大学。
Most books, like their authors, are born to die; of only a few books can it be said that death has no dominion over them; they live, and their influence lives forever.
大多数书，就像它们的作者一样，都是为死亡而生;只有少数几本书能说死亡对它们没有统治权;他们活着，他们的影响永远存在。
Many women have told me they remember where they were when they read the book, and how they felt suddenly that what they really thought or felt about things made sense.
许多女性告诉我，她们记得自己读这本书的时候身在何处，她们突然觉得自己对事情的真实想法或感受是有意义的。
No matter how vital experience might be while you lived it, no sooner was it ended and dead than it became as lifeless as the piles of dry dust in a school history book.
不管你的生活经历有多么重要，它一结束就死了，就像学校历史课本上的一堆干枯的灰尘一样毫无生气。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。

当你读书的时候，你从不孤单。
A book that is shut is but a block.

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。
