故事的力量不在于它的真实性，而在于它让我们相信的能力。

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.

在故事中，沉默可以和文字一样有力。

除了严于自责之外，没有胜过别人的方法；除了自强不息之外，没有超过别人的方法。

真相总是比我们想象的更复杂。

Mental activity is the organism's way of engaging with the world.

可能性高于现实性。
