8. “One glance at [a book] and you hear the voice of another person—perhaps someone dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, the author is speaking, clearly and silently, inside your head, directly to you … To read is to voyage through time.”

—Carl Sagan, Cosmos

“读着书,你听到了另一个人的声音,也许是一个死了几千年的人的声音。在你的脑海里,作者穿越千年清楚地、无声地和你直接对话……阅读就是在时间的长河里航行。”

—Francis Bacon, Essays

“有些书可以浅尝辄止,另一些书可以狼吞虎咽,还有少数一些书适合细嚼慢咽。这就是说,有些书可以只读一部分,另一些书适合随便翻翻,只有一小部分书应该整本勤勉认真地读完。”

——弗朗西斯·培根,《随笔》

10. “Bread and books: food for the body and food for the soul—what could be more worthy of our respect, and even love?”

—Salman Rushdie, Imaginary Homelands

“面包是身体的食粮,而书是精神的食粮,还有什么比书更值得我们尊重甚至热爱呢?”

——萨尔曼·鲁西迪,《想象中的家园》

11. “[Reading] is the sole means by which we slip, involuntarily, often helplessly, into another’s skin; another’s voice; another’s soul.”

—Joyce Carol Oates

“读书是我们不自觉地、往往是不由自主地潜进另一个人的身体、另一个人的声音、另一个人的灵魂的唯一途径。”

——乔伊斯·卡罗尔·欧茨
