LITERATURE | 文學 |
The printed page is a visitor who gets inside the
home and stays there; it always catches a man in the right mood, for it speaks to him only
when he is reading it. Gilbert Highet 印刷的書頁是位進入家庭就駐足不走的訪客;它總在適當的時機吸引人,因為它只在人們閱讀時才對人說話。 |
If I might control the
literature of the household, I would guarantee the well-being of the church and state. Francis Bacon 如果我能掌控家庭閱讀的書籍,我保證教會與國家必定欣欣向榮。 |
Books may preach when the author cannot, when the
author may not, when the author dares not, yea, and which is more, when the author is not. Thomas Brooks 當一位作家不能說,不想說、不敢說,大多時候甚至作者沒說的時候,他寫的書籍都能幫他說出來。 |
The devil hates goose
quills. Martin Luther 魔鬼討厭鵝毛筆。 |
We must throw the printer's inkpot at the devil. Martin Luther 我們必須拿墨水瓶扔魔鬼。 |
The smallest tract may be
the stone in David's sling. In the hands of Christ it may bring down a giant soul. Robert Murray M'Cheyne 最小的冊子都能成為大衛甩機弦的石頭。放在基督的手中能夠擊垮巨大的心靈。 |
We become what we read. Matilda Nordtvedt 我們會變成我們所閱讀的。 |
Literature is the
immortality of speech. August Schlegel 文學是不朽的言語。 |
Be careful what books you read; for as water tastes
of the soil it runs through, so does the soul of the authors that a man reads. John Trapp 要留心你讀的是甚麼樣的書;水流過土壤時,會帶著那塊土壤的味道,作者的心靈同樣的會如此影響我們。 |
No other agency can
penetrate so deeply, witness so daringly, abide so persistently and influence so
irresistible as the printed page. Samuel Zwemmer 沒有任何東西能像書籍一樣深入人心、勇敢的見證、堅定不移以及生發令人無法抗拒的影響。 |
