A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
图书
Books
Maybe Heaven will be a library. Then I will be able to finish my to-read list.
也许天堂将是一个图书馆。然后我就可以完成我的阅读清单了。
I guess that’s the beauty of books. When they finish they don’t really finish.

书并不能提供真正的逃避,但它们可以让你的大脑停止自我折磨。
It is chiefly through books that we enjoy the intercourse with superior minds.

Write from the heart. A book without a pulse is like a person without a spirit.
用心去写。一本没有脉搏的书就像一个没有灵魂的人。

KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。

我死的时候,愿人说:‘他的罪是朱红的,他的书是被人诵读的。’
Read a thousand books, and your words will flow like a river.
读一千本书,你的话就会像河流一样流淌。
In a real sense, people who have read good literature have lived more than people who cannot or will not read. It is not true that we have only one life to live; if we can read, we can live as many more lives and as many kinds of lives as we wish.
从真正意义上说,读过优秀文学作品的人比那些不会或不愿读的人活得更长。我们并不是只有一次生命;如果我们能读书,我们就能过上更多的生活,过上我们想过的各种各样的生活。
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 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。
Fiction reveals truths that reality obscures.
小说揭示了现实所掩盖的真相。
