美国作家语录(二十九)
Even in the Future the Story Begins with Once Upon a Time.
即便在未来,故事也是以“从前”开始。
——玛丽莎•梅尔 《月族》
I feel I stand in a desert with my hands outstretched, and you are raining down upon me.
我感觉自己张开双手站在一片沙漠中,你如雨水般降临在我身上。
——帕特里夏•海史密斯《卡罗尔》
Any mind that is capable of a real sorrow is capable of good.
真正悲伤过的人都是心存善念的。
——哈丽叶特•比切•斯托《汤姆叔叔的小屋》
无聊就是感受到时间的流逝。
——保罗•卡拉尼什 《当呼吸化为空气》
I don't tell the truth, I tell what ought to be the truth.
我说的不是事实,我说的是应该存在的事实。
——田纳西•威廉斯 《欲望号街车》
Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
向那些疯狂的家伙们致敬,他们特立独行,他们桀骜不驯,他们惹事生非,他们格格不入,他们用与众不同的眼光看待事物,他们不喜欢墨守成规,他们也不愿安于现状。你尽可以赞美他们,引用他们,反对他们,质疑他们,颂扬或是诋毁他们,但唯独不能漠视他们。因为他们改变了事物。他们推动人类向前发展。或许他们是别人眼里的疯子,但他们却是我们眼中的天才。因为只有那些疯狂到以为自己能够改变世界的人,才能真正地改变世界。
——罗伯•西尔塔宁
并非每个人都能受到恩典……你必须先经历苦难,历尽艰难,对大千世界的悲苦有所了解。那样,你的眼睛才能看到恩典。
——亨利•詹姆斯
我们每一个人都是其他人生活的碎片。
——威廉•吉布森《全息玫瑰碎片》
