"Books are the way that we communicate with the dead. The way that we learn lessons from those who are no longer with us, that humanity has built on itself, progressed, made knowledge incremental rather than something that has to be relearned, over and over."

一个故事不像一条要跟随的路……它更像一座房子。你走进去，待一会儿，来回徘徊，在你喜欢的地方安顿下来，发现房间和走廊如何相互关联，外面的世界如何通过这些窗户的视角而改变。

你不可能不了解历史。

最平凡的生活中可能包含着非凡的故事。
