书籍是我们与逝者沟通的方式。是我们从那些不再与我们同在的人那里学习教训的方式,人类以此为基础,取得进步,使知识逐渐积累,而不是一次又一次地重新学习。
"Books are the way that we communicate with the dead. The way that we learn lessons from those who are no longer with us, that humanity has built on itself, progressed, made knowledge incremental rather than something that has to be relearned, over and over."
【释义】与人相处的忌讳,莫过于总喜欢充当别人的老师。
"The stories we tell ourselves about who we are and where we come from shape our identity and our destiny."
记忆是一根脆弱的线,将我们与失去的东西连接起来。
解释:对别人的灾祸而幸灾乐祸是不仁义的,乘别人的危难去攻击不符合武德。
