"「熱愛一個地方的食物，是否真能轉化為對那裡人民與文化更深刻、更富同理心、更具人性的理解？在最近新冠疫情期間，我反覆思索這個問題。2021年，紐約市一場抗議亞裔受暴情況激增的活動上，一位名叫Jessice Ng的年輕女性高舉一塊標語牌，上面傳達的不是一個疑問，而是一個訴求：『請像愛我們的食物那樣愛我們這些人。』這句標語的流行，或許恰恰反映了主流現實的反差：儘管亞洲美食在美國廣受喜愛與接納，但亞洲人自身卻難以同樣被接納。
傅培梅的雙語食譜不僅是她個人努力的成果，也是她所處歷史環境與時代背景的產物。同時，這幾本食譜也是一種烏托邦式的希望宣言——相信人們真的可以透過食物跨越文化與語言的藩籬。」" — Dec 05, 2025 06:54AM

“And then a silver hare, a boar, and a fox soared past Harry, Ron, and Hermione's heads: The dementors fell back before the creatures' approach. Three more people had arrived out of the darkness to stand beside them, their wands outstretched, continuing to cast their Patronuses: Luna, Ernie, and Seamus.
"That's right," said Luna encouragingly, as if they were back in the Room of Requirement and this was simply spell practice for the D.A. "That's right, Harry... come on, think of something happy..."
"Something happy?" he said, his voice cracked.
"We're all still here," she whispered, "we're still fighting. Come on, now..."
There was a silver spark, then a wavering light, and then, with the greatest effort it had ever cost him, the stag burst from the end of Harry's wand.”

“And therein lies the whole of man's plight. Human time does not turn in a circle; it runs ahead in a straight line. That is why man cannot be happy: happiness is the longing for repetition.”

“If I were a different kind of person, I might say that this whole incident is a metaphor for life in general: things get broken, and sometimes they get repaired, and in most cases, you realize that no matter what gets damaged, life rearranges itself to compensate for your loss, sometimes wonderfully.”

“...the secret of the Great Stories is that they have no secrets. The Great Stories are the ones you have heard and want to hear again. The ones you can enter anywhere and inhabit comfortably. They don’t deceive you with thrills and trick endings. They don’t surprise you with the unforeseen. They are as familiar as the house you live in. Or the smell of your lover’s skin. You know how they end, yet you listen as though you don’t. In the way that although you know that one day you will die, you live as though you won’t. In the Great Stories you know who lives, who dies, who finds love, who doesn’t. And yet you want to know again.
That is their mystery and their magic.”
