世界是如此不可预测。事情突然发生,出乎意料。我们想要感觉我们能掌控自己的存在。在某些方面我们是,在某些方面我们不是。我们被偶然和巧合的力量所支配。
The world is so unpredictable. Things happen suddenly, unexpectedly. We want to feel we are in control of our own existence. In some ways we are, in some ways we're not. We are ruled by the forces of chance and coincidence.
The beauty of literature is that it allows us to live multiple lives, to experience different worlds, to feel the emotions of others.
The ruling ideas of each age have ever been the ideas of its ruling class.
仅仅做到我们的最好是不够的,有时候我们得达到要求。
