A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
图书
Books
As a writer, it's disheartening to write books that you pour your soul into and not have them distributed widely enough to find their audience.
作为一名作家，写一些你全身心投入的书，却没有得到足够广泛的传播来吸引读者，这是令人沮丧的。
If you haven't cried at least once while writing a chapter of your inspirational book then you have to ask yourself if your're writing fiction.
如果你在写励志书的一章时至少没有哭过一次，那么你必须问问自己，你是不是在写小说。
When I was in my twenties and broke, I'd buy books before food. A meal will sustain you for a few hours, a good book will sustain you for life.
当我二十多岁身无分文的时候，我会先买书再买食物。一顿饭可以支撑你几个小时，一本好书可以支撑你一生。
Reading's not a luxury, art's not a luxury. It's about your soul, and it's about yourself. And if reading is a luxury, being human is a luxury.
阅读不是奢侈品，艺术也不是奢侈品。这关乎你的灵魂，也关乎你自己。如果说读书是一种奢侈，那么做人也是一种奢侈。
Thus I rediscovered what writers have always known: books always speak of other books, and every story tells a story that has already been told.
于是，我重新发现了作家们一直知道的一个道理:书中总是提到其他的书，而每个故事都讲述着一个已经被讲述过的故事。
Some people read books on musicians, while I read music books. Not books on music, but literally books full of sheet music. Fascinating reading.

Finding people who get enormous pleasure from reading books is a more and more unusual experience, and so writers just so much want to be heard.

When I am attacked by gloomy thoughts, nothing helps me so much as running to my books. They quickly absorb me and banish the clouds from my mind.

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。
It's no secret that in my books I'm trying to make the comic and the serious rub up against each other just as closely and uncomfortably as I can.
众所周知，在我的书中，我试图把喜剧和严肃尽可能紧密地、不舒服地联系在一起。
Books must be treated with respect, we feel that in our bones, because words have power. Bring enough words together they can bend space and time.
书籍必须被尊重，我们觉得在我们的骨子里，因为文字有力量。把足够多的单词组合在一起，它们可以弯曲时空。
It's red hot, mate. I hate to think of this sort of book getting in the wrong hands. As soon as I've finished this, I shall recommend they ban it.
太热了，伙计。我不愿想到这种书会落到坏人手里。我一做完这件事，就建议他们禁止它。
