Outside the ballparks, America was in the midst of a massive and uncertain shift.
“原本只覺得自己是種種任性，誰之誤打誤撞，慢慢蛇行，大概也走成了一種韌性。我常認為自己心性遊蕩，情志不堅，然而，終究在一個無人知曉、甚至連我自己都不知曉的時候，好像練出無人知曉的功夫，變成一個無人知曉的自己。雖然我想，那其實也就是擺幅很小，局外人都將不察的一個倒踩步或推手勢。可是，或許人生的險與不險、救與無救，都不是天壤之別，而是差在那麼角度那麼狹窄那麼微的一點點。像瘤子與動脈之間差的那一點點。”

The exceptional is ubiquitous; to be entirely typical is the rare and lonely state.”

“Now he got out of bed and wrapped his blanket around himself, yawning. That evening, he'd talk to Jude. He didn't know where he was going, but he knew he would be safe; he would keep them both safe. He went to the kitchen to make himself coffee, and as he did, he whispered the lines back to himself, those lines he thought of whenever he was coming home, coming back to Greene Street after a long time away - "And tell me this: I must be absolutely sure. This place I've reached, is it truly Ithaca?"- as all around him, the apartment filled with light.”
