The midnight library

[P67]
The only way to learn is to live.

[P270]
Want is an interesting word. It means lack.

[P277]
It is easy to mourn the lives we aren't living. Easy to wish we'd developed other talents, said yes to different offers. Easy to wish we'd worked harder, loved better……But it is not the lives we regret not living that are the real problem. It is the regret itself. It's the regret that makes us shrivel and wither and feel like our own and other people's worst enemy.
[P277]

We just have to lose our eyes and savour the taste of the drink informt of us and listne to the song as it plays. We are as complete and utterly alive as we are in any other life and have access to the same emotional spectrum.

[P278]

We only need to be one person. We only need to feel one existence.

[P278]

We don't have to do everything in order to be everthing, because we are already infinite. While we are alive we always contain a future of multifarious possiblility.

步客小悟

每个人都会感觉自己的过去有很多遗憾。

你可能也常常会想，如果当初做了什么，或者没有那做什么，现在的人生会有多么的不同。

这部小说以大胆的想象告诉我们，即便你当初那样做了，或没那样做，你的人生依然会有其它的遗憾产生，甚至是你不能承受的更大的遗憾产生。

《金刚经》云，“过去心不可得”。与其幻想过去，不如活好当下。唯有当下的决定和行动，才会对未来产生影响。
或许生活本来就没有遗憾，过去发生的一切，都已经是最好的安排。放下过去，把握当下，活在当下，才是对未来最大的负责。
