写作是一种孤独的行为，但它以深刻的方式将我们与世界连接起来。

书籍是我们与逝者沟通的方式。是我们从那些不再与我们同在的人那里学习教训的方式，人类以此为基础，取得进步，使知识逐渐积累，而不是一次又一次地重新学习。

It’s possible that a not-so smart person， who can communicate well， can do much better than a super smart person who can’t communicate well. That is good news because it is much easier to improve your communication skills than your intelligence.

"The power of a story is in its ability to connect us."
