“Among other things, you’ll find that you’re not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You’re by no means alone on that score, you’ll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You’ll learn from them—if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It’s a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn’t education. It’s history. It’s poetry.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

“除此之外,你会发现你并不是第一个对人类行为感到困惑、恐惧甚至恶心的人。在这一点上,你绝不是一个人,你会很兴奋,很兴奋地知道。很多很多男人在道德和精神上都和你现在一样困扰。令人高兴的是,他们中的一些人记录了他们的麻烦。如果你愿意,你会向他们学习的。就像有一天,如果你能提供一些东西,有人会从你身上学到一些东西。这是一个很好的互惠安排。这不是教育。这是历史。这是诗歌。”
―J.D.塞林格《麦田里的守望者》
