爱的意义是爱那些不可爱的；宽恕的意义是宽恕那些不可宽恕的；信仰的意义是信仰那些不可置信的；希望的意义是当一切看上去毫无希望的时候仍心有希望。
To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.
The purpose of literature is to disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed.
"Writing is a way of thinking, a way of organizing the chaos of life."
"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."
发现可能性的极限的唯一方法就是超越它们进入不可能。
