I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book!
我敢说,没有什么比阅读更令人愉悦了!人们对任何事物的厌倦都比不上一本书来得慢。
The act of writing is an act of resistance against forgetting.
Life is a constant struggle between being an individual and being a member of the community.
