"Books are the way that we communicate with the dead. The way that we learn lessons from those who are no longer with us, that humanity has built on itself, progressed, made knowledge incremental rather than something that has to be relearned, over and over."

"Memory is a strange thing. It doesn't work like I thought it did. We are not meant to remember everything. We're meant to forget, to move on."

O for a life of sensations rather than of thoughts!

我们都在寻找某样东西，但有时我们寻找的东西已经在我们心中。
