"We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are."

不要担心别人会做什么。预测未来的最好方法就是创造未来。

The best way to predict the future is to create it.

A book is not just pages and ink; it is a living breath.

 我从未遇到过一小时阅读不能解除的痛苦。

The chief beauty about time is that you cannot waste it in advance. The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you, as perfect, as unspoiled, as if you had never wasted or misapplied a single moment in all your life. You can turn over a new leaf every hour if you choose.

I don't run from my past, I just don't bring it with me.

"A novel is a long piece of prose with something wrong with it."
