A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
图书
Books
All good and true book-lovers practice the pleasing and improving avocation of reading in bed ... No book can be appreciated until it has been slept with and dreamed over.
所有优秀的和真正的爱书人都在床上练习愉悦和提高阅读的兴趣。没有一本书是可以被欣赏的，除非它被睡过，被梦过。
Who wants to be used? I love to read, so books are my main friends. They're always available, always friendly, and always interesting, and they never make me choose sides.
谁想被利用?我喜欢读书，所以书是我的主要朋友。他们总是有空的，总是友好的，总是有趣的，他们从不让我选择立场。
We don't need lists of rights and wrongs, tables of do's and don'ts: we need books, time, and silence. Thou shalt not is soon forgotten, but Once upon a time lasts forever.
我们不需要对与错的清单，不需要做与不做的表格:我们需要书籍、时间和沉默。你不会很快被遗忘，但从前是永恒的。
It had been startling and disappointing to me to find out that story books had been written by people, that books were not natural wonders, coming of themselves like grass.
当我发现故事书是由人写的，书并不是自然奇观，而是像草一样自己生长出来的时候，我感到既震惊又失望。
You know how it is when you're reading a book and falling asleep, you're reading, reading... and all of a sudden you notice your eyes are closed? I'm like that all the time.
你知道当你看书然后睡着的时候，你在看书，看书……突然你发现你的眼睛闭上了?我一直都是这样的。
Good characters make you feel like you have new friends, don’t they? You have to re-read the books just to visit with them again. Grace Awakening. Book one: Awakening Dreams
好的性格会让你觉得你有了新朋友，不是吗?你必须重读这些书，才能再次和他们见面。优雅的觉醒。第一册:唤醒梦想
It's not that I don't like people. It's just that when I'm in the company of others even my nearest and dearest there always comes a moment when I'd rather be reading a book.
不是我不喜欢别人。只是当我和其他人在一起的时候，即使是我最亲密的人，总会有那么一刻我宁愿看书。
Historical novels are, without question, the best way of teaching history, for they offer the human stories behind the events and leave the reader with a desire to know more.
毫无疑问，历史小说是教授历史的最好方法，因为它们讲述了历史事件背后的人类故事，并让读者产生想要了解更多的欲望。
There is something fascinatingly awkward about an author photo. I'm drawn to those glossy shots in the back of books, mostly because the subjects never look happy to be there.
作者的照片有一些迷人的尴尬。我被书后面那些光彩照人的照片所吸引，主要是因为书里的人物看起来从来都不开心。
When I read a book I seem to read it with my eyes only, but now and then I come across a passage, perhaps only a phrase, which has a meaning for me, and it becomes part of me.
当我读一本书的时候，我似乎只用眼睛来阅读，但我偶尔会看到一段话，也许只是一个短语，对我来说有意义，它成为我的一部分。
The best of a book is not the thought which it contains, but the thought which it suggests; just as the charm of music dwells not in the tones but in the echoes of our hearts.
书的精华不在于它所包含的思想，而在于它所暗示的思想;正如音乐的魅力不在于它的音调，而在于我们心灵的共鸣。
The first time I read an excellent work, it is to me just as if I gained a new friend; and when I read over a book I have perused before, it resembles the meeting of an old one.
我第一次读到一本优秀的作品，对我来说就像交了一个新朋友;当我读一本我以前读过的书时，它就像一本旧书的相遇。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
And this, our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything.
这就是我们的生活，远离了公众的纠缠，在树木中找到了语言，在奔流的小溪中找到了书籍，在石头中找到了布道，在一切事物中找到了美好。
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。
All books are divisible into two classes, the books of the hour, and the books of all time.
一切书籍都可以分为二类，即:一时之书和永久之书。
When I am dead, I hope it may be said: 'His sins were scarlet, but his books were read.'
我死的时候，愿人说:‘他的罪是朱红的，他的书是被人诵读的。’
We live and breathe words.
我们活着，呼吸着语言。
I love everything that’s old: old friends, old times, old manners, old books, old wines.
我喜欢一切古老的东西:老朋友、旧时代、旧礼节、旧书、旧酒。
