There is no Frigate like a Book
To take us Lands away
Nor any Coursers like a Page
Of prancing Poetry –
This Traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of Toll –
How frugal is the Chariot
That bears the Human Soul –
—— Emily Dickinson
On my volcano grows the Grass
A meditative spot -
An acre for a Bird to choose
Would be the general thought -
How red the Fire rocks below
How insecure the Sod
Did I disclose
Would populate with awe
my solitude
—— Emily Dickinson
The only hope, or else despair
Lies in the choice of pyre or pyre —
To be redeemed from fire by fire.
[…]
We only live, only suspire
Consumed by either fire or fire.
—— T. S. Eliot
Know then thyself, presume not God to scan;
The proper study of mankind is man.
—— Alexander Pope
We murder to dissect.
——Wordsworth
L'homme poursuit noir sur blanc.
—— Mallarmé
Fiction is woven into all.
—— John Fowles
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
—— Hamlet
出于职责和敬意读经典作品是没用的，我们只应仅仅因为喜爱而读它们。
—— 卡尔维诺
Never trust the teller, trust the tale.
—— D. H. Lawrence
The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.
—— Oscar Wilde
Being a self is the finding that already lies in the seeking.
—— ?
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
—— Exodus 20:4
For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
—— Luke 9:25
It is the essence of the wisdom furnished by literature (the plurality of literary achievement) to help us to understand that, whatever is happening, something else is always going on.
I am haunted by that “something else”.
—— Susan Sontag
Rereading, an operation contrary to the commercial and ideological habits of our society, which would have us "throw away" the story once it has been consumed ("devoured"), so that we can then move on to another story, buy another book, and which is tolerated only in certain marginal categories of readers (children, old people, and professors), rereading is here suggested at the outset, for it alone saves the text from repetition (those who fail to reread are obliged to read the same story everywhere), multiplies it in its variety and its plurality.
—— Roland Barthes
do you have the time to listen to me whine
about nothing and everything all at once
To take us Lands away
Nor any Coursers like a Page
