维克多·雨果《悲惨世界》: 他对妇女和穷人特别宽容，因为他们受到人类社会的压迫。他说：“妻子、孩子、仆人、弱者、穷人和无知者犯错误，是丈夫、父亲、主人、强者、富人和有学问的人造成的。” “对于没有知识的人，你们应尽量教给他们知识。社会不办义务教育是有罪的。是社会制造了黑暗，它应对此负责。人的心灵充满黑暗就会犯罪。真正有罪的，并非是犯罪的人，而是造成他心灵黑暗的人。”
黑暗笼罩着整个世界，但思想却光芒四射，无比灿烂。
人的智慧掌握着三把钥匙，一把开启数字，一把开启字母，一把开启音符。知识、思想、幻想就在其中。
like something in Anthony Burgess: he was always honest and straight to the point in his writing. “no good blaming it on other people,” “we’re prone to evil,” “our problemis to learn how to live with it. it’s not to pretend that there are solutions.” though his answer to the question of “on what occasions do you lie” is that “when I write, when I speak and when I sleep.” he wrote about many writers. when he mentioned of The Lord of The Rings by Tolkien, he noticed that there was no sex in the story and there are full of men and men-like dwarves, elves and other monsters but women. (yes, there are wives and daughters in the story but not significant roles for the fantasy.)
