閱讀該有特定的理由,不是為了消遣或突然其來的好奇心,也不是單純地想知道羅斯金的感覺而已,而是為了自己去感覺:「把大師遺留下來的東西在自己的內心中重塑,這就是自己去感覺最好的方式。」閱讀他人作品的目的,就在學習我們感受到的東西。我們該鍛鍊的是自己的思想。― 擁抱似水年華

"Whenever you feel like criticizing any one," he told me, "just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
