“ A novel makes it possible to understand not just events, but the people who control the events; not only their choices, but also their motives. 小说使我们不仅能够理解事件,而且能够理解控制事件的人;不仅是他们的选择,还有他们的动机。 David Frum 弗鲁姆
“ It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure. 科学地描述一切是可能的,但这毫无意义;它没有任何意义,就像你把贝多芬的交响乐描述为波压的变化一样。 Albert Einstein 爱因斯坦
