A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
图书
Books
So it is that a writer writes many books. In each book, he intended several urgent and vivid points, many of which he sacrificed as the book's form hardened.
所以一个作家写了很多书。在每一本书中，他都有意提出几个紧迫而生动的观点，随着书的形式变得更加坚实，他牺牲了其中的许多观点。
For there is a wind or a ghost of wind in all books echoing the life there, a high wind that fills the tubes of the ear until we think we hear a wind, actual.

If you are looking for a friend that will never change, go to the shelves, you'll find it there. It will never change and will stay the same today and forever.

I could recognize his soul in mine as much as he could find me in his. Our sole existences seemed to have been for this very moment when nothing else mattered.

If there is no mystery, for the artist, to solve inside of his art, then there's no point in it. . . . for me, every act of art is the act of solving a mystery.

When you read to a child, when you put a book in a child's hands, you are bringing that child news of the infinitely varied nature of life. You are an awakener.

I felt the weakness of these books, their immateriality, how they had failed to change the world, and I didn't want to sully myself with their weakness anymore.
我感受到了这些书的弱点，它们的非物质性，它们未能改变世界，我不想再让它们的弱点玷污我自己。
Many poets write books. They'll tell you: Well, I've got my next book, but there are two poems I need to write, one about x, one about y. This is a wonder to me.

And yes, there's a simplicity to writing books because you're not a member of a team, so you make all the decisions yourself instead of deferring to a committee.
是的，写书很简单，因为你不是一个团队的成员，所以你自己做所有的决定，而不是服从委员会。
A finished tale may give a man immortality in the light and literary sense; but an unfinished tale suggests another immortality, more essential and more strange.
一个完成的故事可以使一个人在光明和文学意义上永生;但一个未完成的故事暗示着另一种不朽，更本质，也更奇怪。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
A book is a fragile creature, it suffers the wear of time, it fears rodents, the elements and clumsy hands. so the librarian protects the books not only against mankind but also against nature and devotes his life to this war with the forces of oblivion.
书是一种脆弱的生物，它经受着时间的磨损，它害怕啮齿动物、大自然和笨拙的双手。因此，图书馆员不仅要保护图书不受人类的侵害，还要保护图书不受自然的侵害，并把自己的生命奉献给这场与遗忘力量的战争。
