小说的力量在于它能让我们感到不那么孤独。

我一直在不停地努力，不嘲笑、不哀叹、不嘲笑人类的行为，而是理解它们。

The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty.

The important thing in life is not victory but combat； it is not to have vanquished but to have fought well.

这只鹰是我想要成为的一切：孤独、自制、远离悲伤，对人类生活的伤害麻木不仁。
