"A novel is a mirror held up to the world."

"The most important thing a child can learn from a book is that they matter."

翻译：天空高高在上而大地在人们脚下，乾坤所代表的天地的位置就确定了；把在人们脚下的和高高在上的罗列出来，高下与卑贱事物的地位就排定了；运动与静止有规律，阳刚和阴柔就明确分开了。

A book is a mirror: if an ape looks into it, an apostle is unlikely to look out.

The universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose.
