A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
书
Book
Books are something social - a writer speaking to a reader - so I think making the reading of a book the center of a social event, the meeting of a book club, is a brilliant idea.
书是一种社会性的东西——一个作家对读者说话——所以我认为把读书作为一个社会活动的中心，一个读书俱乐部的聚会，是一个绝妙的主意。
I guess another message I'd like to say with this book is no matter how many times you fail... I failed a lot of times trying to get clean, and never thought I'd get to this point.
我想通过这本书我想说的另一个信息是，无论你失败了多少次……我尝试过很多次，但都失败了，我从来没有想过我会走到这一步。
I've made mistakes, I've misspoke, I am sure I will again sometime, but that happens, that's part of being human in my book. I'm OK with that. I've never done it maliciously, ever.
我犯过错误，我说错了话，我相信有一天我还会犯同样的错误，但这确实会发生，在我的书中，这是人性的一部分。我没有意见。我从来没有恶意这么做过，从来没有。
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.
电子发行更多的是一种退路策略，用于出版被认为利润不足以印刷的书籍。出版一本电子书几乎赚不到钱。
Going to the library was the one place we got to go without asking for permission. And they let us choose what we wanted to read. It was a feeling of having a book be mine entirely.
去图书馆是我们未经允许就可以去的地方。他们让我们选择我们想读什么。这是一种让一本书完全属于我的感觉。
I try to be upbeat. I read this book which tells you to write down everything that you're grateful for each day. Now I'm constantly noticing all the little things that make me joyful.
我试着保持乐观。我读过这本书，它告诉你每天写下你感激的每件事。现在我不断地注意到所有让我快乐的小事情。
Perfect heroines, like perfect heroes, aren't relatable, and if you can't put yourself in the protagonist's shoes, not only will they not inspire you, but the book will be pretty boring.
完美的女主人公，就像完美的英雄一样，是无法让人产生共鸣的，如果你不能设身处地为主人公着想，他们不仅不会激励你，书也会很无聊。
Not being a comic book fan, being thrown into that and seeing the extreme - it's taken very seriously. So I tried to do as much learning as I could about it so I wasn't mean or anything.
不是漫画迷，而是置身其中，看到极端——这是非常严肃的。所以我试着尽可能多地学习，这样我就不会那么刻薄了。
What I would do is when I was younger I would draw in a sketch book something that happened in my life and then write a little something on the side about what happened or what the story.
我年轻的时候会在速写本上画一些我生活中发生的事情然后在旁边写一些关于发生了什么或者故事的东西。
I'd read the book and liked the book, but it made me really uncomfortable trying to picture myself in this part. Here's this guy who seems to be the embodiment of every single perfect guy.
我读过这本书，也很喜欢它，但是当我试着把自己想象成这个角色的时候，我真的很不舒服。这个人似乎是每一个完美男人的化身。
I wanted to define the vocabulary of a wedding both visually and intellectually. The book is about more than weddings or wedding dresses. It's a metaphor for women's lives, their creativity.
我想在视觉上和智力上定义婚礼的词汇。这本书不仅仅是关于婚礼或婚纱。这是对女性生活和创造力的隐喻。
Every kind of book I've written has been written in a different way. There has not been any set time for writing, any set way, I haven't re-invented the process every time but I almost have.
我写过的每一本书都是用不同的方式写的。没有固定的写作时间，也没有固定的写作方式，我没有每次都重新发明写作的过程，但我几乎做到了。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
A classic is a book that has never finished saying what it has to say.
经典是一本永远没有把它要说的话说完的书。
You are never alone when you are reading a book.
当你读书的时候，你从不孤单。
Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.
即使在文学和艺术领域，也没有人为原创而烦恼的人永远不会是原创的。相反，如果你只是想说真话(不在乎别人告诉你多少次)，十有八九你会在没有注意到的情况下变得原创。
Books are the legacies that a great genius leaves to mankind, which are delivered down from generation to generation as presents to the posterity of those who are yet unborn.
书籍是伟大的天才留给人类的遗产，它作为礼物代代相传，传给尚未出生的人。
Some books leave us free and some books make us free.
有些书让我们自由，有些书让我们自由。
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。
