“The thing about life, Harry had told Lauren, was to live in the world with interest. To keep your eyes open and see the possibilities - see the humanity - in everybody you met. To be aware. If he had anything at all to teach her it was that.” —RunAway

　　“生活的要義，哈裡告訴勞蓮，就是滿懷興趣地活在這個世界上。睜大你的眼睛，要從你所遇到的每一個人的身上看到各種可能性——看到他的人性。要時刻注意。如果他有什麼可以傳授給女兒的話，那就是這句話了：要時刻注意。”——《逃離》

　　“The conversation of kisses. Subtle, engrossing, fearless, transforming.”—RunAway

　　“愛的語言—— 微妙的、美好的、無懼的和多變的。”——《逃離》

　　“There is a limit to the amount of misery and disarray you will put up with, for love, just as there is a limit to the amount of mess you can stand around a house. You can't know the limit beforehand, but you will know when you've reached it. I believe this.”

　　“對於愛情，你所能承受的痛苦和混亂一定有一個限度，這就如同你對髒亂的房間有一個忍受限度一樣。你不能預知這個界限在何處，但我相信，當你達到自己所能承受的極限時，你就會知道了。”

　　“Never underestimate the meanness in people's souls... Even when they're being kind... especially when they're being kind.”

　　“永遠別低估那些深藏於人的靈魂中的刻薄……即使是當人們表現友善的時候……尤其是他們表現友善的時候。”

　　“Because if she let go of her grief even for a minute it would only hit her harder when shebumped into it again. ”

　　“只要她試圖放下自己的憂傷、哪怕僅僅一分鐘，就會在下一次遭遇憂傷時被打擊的更狠。”——《柳暗花明》

　　“Moments of kindness and reconciliation are worth having, even if the parting has to come sooner or later.”

　　“人與人之間相互友善，相互和諧的時刻是值得珍惜的，即使早晚我們必須分離。”

　　“Always remember that when a man goes out of the room, he leaves everything in it behind... When a woman goes out she carries everything that happened in the room along with her.” -Too Much Happiness

　　“永遠記住，當一個男人從房間裡走出來時，他已經將一切回憶甩在身後。而當一個女人從房間裡走出來時，她會將房間裡的一切回憶隨身帶走。”——《太多的幸福》

　　“Why is it a surprise to find that people other than ourselves are able to tell lies?”

　　“當你發現其他人比自己更會說謊時，沒有必要感到吃驚。”

　　“In your life there are a few places, or maybe only the one place, where something happened, and then there are all the other places.”-Too Much Happiness

　　“在你的生命中總有幾個地方，或者也許只有一個地方，在那裡發生了一些事，然後地球上任何其他地方對你來說都只是‘他鄉’。”——《太多的幸福》

　　“I can't play bridge. I don't play tennis. All those things that people learn, and I admire, there hasn't seemed time for. But what there is time for is looking out the window.”

　　“我不會玩橋牌，也不會打網球。那些別人會的休閒方式，我只是欣賞。我沒有時間做那些事。我把時間都用來觀察窗外的風景了。”
