你的孤独，虽败犹荣

有些承诺如一根针，毫无重量，却凛冽锐利，能直挺挺地插进每个人心里，伤口细微到毫无疼痛。在时间的流淌与社会的打磨之后，伤疤和老茧交错缝合，众生坎壈，任谁都忘记了这句话的出处，我们举着酒杯，脸色泛红，20岁出头的男男女女们，谁又能想到十年之后自己的命运会如何纠葛呢 毕业

温莎墓园日记

离别，走的那个因为忙于应付新遭遇，接纳新印象，不及多想，而送别的那个，仍在原地，明显感到少一个人了，所以处处触发冷寂的酸楚----我经识了无数次＂送别＂后才认为送别者更凄凉。

新名字的故事

我更愿意一动不动，让憎恨不断滋生。

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.
