The longer you live, the more you realise that nothing is fixed. Everyone will become a refugee if they live long enough. Everyone would realise their nationality means little in the long run. Everyone would see their worldviews challenged and disproved. Everyone would realise that the thing that defines a human being is being a human.
Turtles don’t have nations. Or flags. Or strategic nuclear weapons. They don’t have terrorism or referendums or trade wars with China. They don’t have Spotify playlists for their workouts. They don’t have books on the decline and fall of turtle empires. They don’t have internet shopping or self-service checkouts.
Other animals don’t have progress, they say. But the human mind itself doesn’t progress. We stay the same glorified chimpanzees, just with ever big... (查看原文)
Love is where you find the meaning. Those seven years I was with her contained more than anything else. Do you understand? You can take all the years before and since and weigh them next to those, and they wouldn’t stand a chance. That’s the thing with time, isn’t it? It’s not all the same. Some days – some years – some decades – are empty. There is nothing to them. It’s just flat water. And then you come across a year, or even a day, or an afternoon. And it is everything. It is the whole thing
A wave can kill you. Or you can ride it. It’s sometimes more dangerous to shy away. You can’t live your life in fear, Tom. You have to be prepared to get on your board and stand on your feet. If you are in the barrel of a wave you have to ignore the fear. You have to be in that moment. You have to c... (查看原文)

很久以前读的，这本书在我看来写得很糟糕，但糟糕得很典型，所以说一句。一个作者首先要明白的一点是，读者能够分辨作者什么时候在说谎。你在生活中装模作样还行，但不能在文字里装。如果你要写的是一个活了几百年的人，那么你就要让人相信你真的活了几百年，你的所说的事是通过亲眼所见，而不是现代的媒体和书籍所获得的。我们都知道菲茨杰拉德的感情生活比较紧张，对《了不起的盖茨比》不受欢迎耿耿于怀，但一个路人偶遇他刚好看... 很久以前读的，这本书在我看来写得很糟糕，但糟糕得很典型，所以说一句。一个作者首先要明白的一点是，读者能够分辨作者什么时候在说谎。你在生活中装模作样还行，但不能在文字里装。如果你要写的是一个活了几百年的人，那么你就要让人相信你真的活了几百年，你的所说的事是通过亲眼所见，而不是现代的媒体和书籍所获得的。我们都知道菲茨杰拉德的感情生活比较紧张，对《了不起的盖茨比》不受欢迎耿耿于怀，但一个路人偶遇他刚好看到的就是这些景象，这也太假了。类似的例子在书中比比皆是，成了现代人对古人的刻板印象大集合，导致读这本书完全没有代入感，成了看着一个掉书袋喝大了在不停地吹牛。 (展开)

这个类型的小说其实不算少了，这本并没有太多的创新，最让我惊讶的是结尾处大boss竟然自己寻死了，前面的铺垫就显得有些多余。
