A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
图书
Books
Books are love letters (or apologies) passed between us, adding a layer of conversation beyond our spoken words.
书是我们之间传递的情书(或道歉信)，在我们的言语之外增加了一层对话。
I took the volume to a table, opened its soft, ivory pages... and fell into it as into a pool during dry season.
我把书拿到一张桌子前，打开它柔软的象牙色书页……在旱季掉进池塘里。
The world is dark, and light is precious. Come closer, dear reader. You must trust me. I am telling you a story.
世界是黑暗的，光明是宝贵的。 走近点，亲爱的读者。 你必须相信我。 我在给你讲一个故事。
Getting all emotionally wrapped up in made-up people's lives gives me a chance to take a break from my own life.
沉浸在虚构的人们的生活中给了我一个从自己的生活中休息的机会。
Luckily, I always travel with a book, just in case I have to wait on line for Santa, or some such inconvenience.
幸运的是，我总是带着一本书去旅行，以防我不得不排队等圣诞老人，或者其他一些不便。
Books are all the dreams we would most like to have and like dreams they have the power to change consciousness.
书是我们最喜欢做的梦，就像梦一样，它们有改变意识的力量。
Books themselves need no defense. Their spokesmen come and go, their readers live and die, they remain constant.
书本身不需要辩护。他们的发言人来来去去，他们的读者生死存亡，他们始终如一。
Finally, from so little sleeping and so much reading, his brain dried up and he went completely out of his mind.
最后，由于睡得那么少，读得那么多，他的脑子干瘪了，完全失去了理智。
Books act like a developing fluid on film. That is, they bring into consciousness what you didn’t know you knew.
书籍就像胶片上的显影液。也就是说，他们把你不知道你知道的东西带入意识。
An unread book does nobody any good. Stories happen in the mind of a reader, not among symbols printed on a page.
没有读过的书对任何人都没有好处。故事发生在读者的脑海中，而不是印在纸上的符号之间。
There comes a time in your life where you have to choose to turn the page, write another book or simply close it.
人生中总会有这样的时刻，你不得不选择翻开新的一页，写另一本书，或者干脆把它合上。
Science fiction films are not about science. They are about disaster, which is one of the oldest subjects of art.
科幻电影与科学无关。它们是关于灾难的，这是最古老的艺术主题之一。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.
当你没有必要读的时候，你所读的决定了当你没有办法的时候，你会成为什么样的人。
If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.
如果你有一个花园和一个图书馆，你就拥有了你所需要的一切。
The fact people think that when you sell a lot of books you are not a serious writer is a great insult to the readership. I get a little angry when people try to say such a thing.
事实上，人们认为当你卖了很多书，你不是一个严肃的作家，这是对读者的极大侮辱。当人们试图说这样的话时，我有点生气。
Books are the best of things, well used; abused, among the worst...They are for nothing but to inspire.
书是最好的东西，用得好;被虐待，在最糟糕的…它们只是用来鼓舞人心的。
Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are.
当我们不得不呆在原地的时候，阅读给了我们一个地方去。
I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book!
我声明，毕竟没有什么享受像阅读!一个人对任何事情的厌倦都比厌倦一本书快得多!
