"A good book should leave you... slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading it."
一本好书应该让你在结束时感到...略微疲惫。阅读时你经历了多重人生。
How often do we tell our own life story? How often do we adjust, embellish, make sly cuts? And the longer life goes on, the fewer are those around to challenge our account, to remind us that our life is not our life, merely the story we have told about our life.
一个人读什么样的书,就是什么样的人。
The world is full of people who will tell you what you can't do. What you must do is find the ones who will tell you what you can.
