我前幾週看完我到現在為止拜讀過最好看的一本書：Shantaram（項塔蘭）
以下我幫大家整理一下我個人覺得後幾章最有趣的文字。
希望大家喜歡～
You can only ever be yourself. The more you try to be like someone else, the more you find yourself standing in the way.
The cloak of the past is cut from patches of feeling, and sewn with rebus threads. Most of the time, the best we can do is wrap it around ourselves for comfort or drag it behind us as we struggle to go on. But everything had its cause and its meaning. Every life, every love, every action and feeling and thought had its reason and significance: it's beginning, and the part it plays in the end. Sometimes, we do see. Sometimes, we see the past so clearly, and read the legends of its parts with such acuity, that every stitch of time reveals its purpose, and a kind of message is enfolded in it. Nothing in any life, no matter how well or poorly lived, is wiser than failure or clearer than sorrow. And in the tiny, precious wisdom that they give to us, even those dread and hated enemies, suffering and failure, have their reason and their right to be.
I never told her that - what getting affectionate and unconditional acceptance meant to me. So much, too much, of the good that I felt in those years of exile was locked in the prison cell of my heart : those tall walls of fear; that small, barred window of hope; that hard bed of shame. I do speak out now. I know now that when the loving, honest moment comes it should be seized, and spoken, because it may never come again. And unvoiced, unmoving, unloved in the things we declare from heart to heart, those true and real feelings wither and crumble in the remembering hand that tries too late to reach for them.
The only kingdom that makes any man a king is the kingdom of his own soul. The only power that has any real meaning is the power to better the world.
Luck is what happens to you when fate gets tired of waiting
It is always a fool's mistake to be in love with someone you shouldn't have loved.
Every human heartbeat is a universe of possibilities.
Every human will has the power to transform its fate.
For this is what we do. Put one foot forward and then the other. Lift our eyes to the snarl and smile of the world once more. Think. Act. Feel. Add our little consequence to the tides of good and evil that flood and drain the world. Drag our shadowed crosses into the hope of another night. Push our brave hearts into the promise of a new day. With love: the passionate search for a truth other than our own. With longing: the pure, ineffable yearning to be saved. For so long as fate keeps waiting, we live on. God help us. God forgive us. We live on.
