The greatest hazard of all, losing one’s self, can occur very quietly in the world, as if it were nothing at all.
最大的危险,失去自我,可以在世界上非常安静地发生,仿佛它根本不是什么大事。
The art of the novel is to create a world that is more real than reality itself.
如果不是我,那会是谁?如果不是现在,那是什么时候?
It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.
