说到底,作家只是他书的一半。另一半是读者,作家从读者那里学习。
A writer is, after all, only half his book. The other half is the reader and from the reader the writer learns.
"There are two occasions when the sacred beauty of Creation becomes dazzlingly apparent, and they occur together. One is when we feel our mortal insufficiency to the world, and the other is when we feel the world's mortal insufficiency to us."
The greatest proof of our intellect is our ability to perceive our own limitations.
