小说是一面沿着大路携带的镜子。有时它向你展示天空的蓝色，有时则是路上搅动的泥泞。

The world is not something to be understood, but something to be experienced.

The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long the nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was. The world around it will forget even faster.

书籍是反映我们欲望的镜子。
