死亡的幻象

在每一世之后，你的身体已经变得非常疲倦，所以你需要一个新的身体、新的显现。旧有的波浪已经消失了，但是那个滚滚的水仍然停留在海洋里，它将会再度以新的波浪出现，旧的一直在变成新的，你要允许它、生命按照它的方式去走，而你带着很深的信任跟着它走。

城堡

努力想得到什么东西，其实只要沉着镇静、实事求是，就可以轻易地、神不知鬼不觉地达到目的。而如果过于使劲，闹得太凶，太幼稚，太没有经验，就哭啊，抓啊，拉啊，像一个小孩扯桌布，结果却是一无所获，只不过把桌上的好东西都扯到地上，永远也得不到了

好吗好的

惜缘即可，不必攀缘。随缘即可，无须强求。若有缘再聚，给个微笑就好。若无缘重逢，别忘了我就行。

如何读，为什么读

Melville was not a Christian, and tended to identify with the ancient Gnostic heresy, in which the creator God of this world is a bungler and impostor, while the true God, called the Stranger or Alien God, is exiled somewhere in the outer regions of the cosmos.Early, major Faulkner is a kind of unknowing Gnostic; West, Pynchon, and McCarthy in their different ways are very knowing indeed. My subject is how to read their best fiction, and why, and not how to instruct my own readers in ancient heterodoxies (at least not here!), but the first sequence of four novels that I have chosen, in the wake of Melville, achieve their negative splendors in modes parallel to Gnostic visions, as we will see.
