"The reason death sticks so closely to life isn't biological necessity—it's envy. Life is so beautiful that death has fallen in love with it, a jealous, possessive love that grabs at what it can."

感官有时会欺骗我们，因此永远不要完全信任那些曾经欺骗过我们的人，这是明智的。

我们不拥有记忆；记忆拥有我们。

天要使一个人遭祸，必先给他一点小小的好处使他轻信；天要使一个人受福，必先给他一点小小的祸患使他有所警惕。
