我认为这是由于我们的文化不再以文学为主了…文字并不能代替你说话，所以你得替你的文字做出一点表演，你必须得证明这本书的存在，你得露面，你必须成为这本书本身。

“你必须做你认为对的事情，”他说，“很明显我们很在乎这个税征，但是我们也在乎物质资产，而能搞定它们俩的只能是联邦法院。”

你可以这样表达：“我们双方都有空闲是重要的；这是我认为必须的。”

Because,indeed,they don't exist They're merely possible And we might say,you've got to exist in order for something to be bad for you But once we say that it seems we're running towards the position that in that case,death can't be bad for me because of course,when I'm dead,I don't exist ? So how can anything be bad for me?
