读完《我遇见了人类》，就像翻开一本宇宙。这里的哲理太多太多，是个沃那多人（外星人）眼中的世界。
合上最后一页，我只有一个想法：一生平均25000天，不要去管其他人，爱自己，做自己想做的事情吧。

“我将与蓝天碧水永处，留下那半部《红楼》给别人写了。半生尽遭白眼冷遇，身先死，不甘，不甘。”

In the early 1970s, Laconia spent millions on a comprehensive urban renewal project, which included building pedestrian mall to make shopping more pleasant. Esthetically it was a triumph ——urban planners came from all over to coo and take photos——but commercially it was a disaster. Forced to walk one whole block from a parking garage, shoppers abandoned downtown Laconia for suburban malls.
In 1994 Laconia dug up its pretty paving blocks, took away the tubs of geraniums and decorative trees, and brought back the cars. Now people can park right in front of the stores again, and downtown Laconia thrives anew.
And if that isn't sad, I don't know what is.
大致意思就是美国在上世纪七十年代早期，在Laconia这个地方建造了一座从美学角度上非常成功的步行购物广场。但是由于人们从车库得走整整一个街区，于是渐渐冷清。
于是建造者搬走了所有装饰的花与树，让车得以直接停在商场门口，人气才渐渐恢复。
我始终觉得美国（甚或其他发达国家）在一定程度上，比中国发展快了那么几十年。比如我国现在的心理学发展现状，完全是在经历美国上世纪七十年代后经历的路。以及教育制度，也和他们上世纪九十年代很像。
我们不喜欢走路，甚至鄙视自行车，如果拥有了车，它一定要被用上。
我很高兴今天在学校里恰巧碰到了我的写作课老师——一个在伯克利大学留学过的人，他骑自行车路过了我。
“And if that isn't sad, I don't know what is.”
如果这都不足以为之悲哀。

　　And suddenly Hassan's voice whispered in my head:For you, a thousand times over. Hassan the harelipped kite runner.
哈桑，兔唇的哈桑，那个追风筝的哈桑。

人生的尽头：应该允许安乐死吗？
关键不仅仅在于“积极协助死亡”背后会存在的黑色地带，还有这种无异于“主动杀人”的行为是否会最终影响到医生的心理。

　　The book said part of the reason Pashtuns had oppressed the Hazaras was that Pashtuns were Sunni Muslims, while Hazaras were Shi'a.

　　Hassan and I fed from the same breasts. We took out first steps on the same lawn in the same yard. And, under the same roof, we spoke our first words.
Mine was Baba.
His was Amir. My name.
　　我们在同一个院子的同一处草坪上，迈出了人生的第一步，认识了同样的屋檐，说出了第一个词。
　　我说的是爸爸。
　　他说的是，阿米尔，我的名字。

　　When you kill a man, you steal a life, you steal his 's right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone's right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness. Do you see?
——The Kite Runner
　　

"Self-defense has nothing to do with meanness. You know what always happens when the neighborhood boys tease him? Hassan steps in and fends them off. I've seen it with my own eyes. And when they come home, I say to him, ' How did Hassan get that scrape on his face?' And he says, 'He fell down.' I'm telling you, Rahim, there is something missing in that boy."
自我防卫跟卑劣毫不沾边。

　　《房思琪的初恋乐园》看到一半时（是真的一半，195/395），坐在寝室里，忽而觉得没有谁生来是作家。“房思琪”这样一个受性侵折磨、徘徊在清醒与疯狂之间的姑娘，最终却能将这些无数个日夜熬成一本书，这本身就是她对这个扭曲模糊的世界，一份尽最大勇气与努力的独白。
　　路已走得太长，道理已解太多，但有时候还是会懵懵懂懂地不知道自己究竟还在不在岛上。
　　那就跳下去吧，跳下去吧。
　　跳下去吧。
