"The more you try to understand the truth, the less you know."

每本小说都是一段旅程，对作者和读者都是如此。

"Every novel is a journey, both for the writer and the reader."

萨迪·琼斯

物欲膨胀，隐藏着灾祸。

要想获得一种见解，首先就需要劳动，自己的劳动，自己的首创精神，自己的实践。

陀思妥耶夫斯基

我们是那些不在报纸上的人。我们生活在印刷品边缘的空白处。这给了我们更多的自由。我们生活在故事之间的缝隙中。

We were the people who were not in the papers. We lived in the blank white spaces at the edges of print. It gave us more freedom. We lived in the gaps between the stories.

玛格丽特·阿特伍德

感恩释放了生命的丰盛。它将我们所拥有的变成足够，甚至更多。它将拒绝变成接受，混乱变成秩序，困惑变成清晰。它可以将一顿饭变成盛宴，一所房子变成家，一个陌生人变成朋友。

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.

芭芭拉·弗雷德里克森

无论是打猎或采集果实，当人与土地的关系愈深，自然就会想要与其他生长在这片土地的生命，拥有更深入的交集。我猜想人就是通过这样的方式找到归属于这片土地的感觉，当我们不再这么做，我们的心就会自然愈来愈远。或许这也是人们种植花草与蔬菜的原因吧。
