I do not like proper novels. In proper novels people say things like, ‘I am veined with iron, with silver and with streaks of common mud. I cannot contract into the firm fist which those clench who do not depend on stimulus.’ What does this mean? I do not know. Nor does Father. Nor do the people who write these books.

译文：学习不以广博为贵，贵在学得正确，说话不以漂亮动听为贵，贵在表达得当。赏析：读书求学要走正道，要有正确的学习观，不能学习旁门左道。和别人交往，说话不一定要动听，一定要正确表达，不要出口伤人。

And when two such people encounter each other, and their eyes meet, the past and the future become unimportant.

It is the hand that evokes love, and creates a twin soul for every person in the world. Without such love, one's dreams would have no meaning.
