Every life is in many days, day after day. We walk through ourselves, meeting robbers, ghosts, giants, old men, young men, wives, widows, brothers-in-love, but always meeting ourselves.

过去是一个异国他乡；他们做事的方式不同。

每个人的生命都以同样的方式结束。区别只在于他如何生活、如何死去的细节。

The novel is a mirror that reflects the complexities of human nature.

To live is to be marked. To live is to change, to acquire the words of a story, and that is the only celebration we mortals really know.
