查尔斯•狄更斯 Charles Dickens
这部小说云集了众多鲜活的人物，他们有的仿佛就生活在读者身边，他们看待世界的方式也和读者在现实中遇到的人相似。

经典名句
…for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.
世上善的增长，一部分也有赖于那些微不足道的行为，而你我的遭遇之所以不致如此悲惨，一半也得力于那些不求闻达，忠诚地度过一生，然后安息在无人凭吊的坟墓中的人们。

经典名句
What is the meaning of life? That was all — a simple question; one that tended to close in on one with years. The great revelation had never come. The great revelation perhaps never did come. Instead there were little daily miracles, illuminations, matches struck unexpectedly in the dark; here was one.
生命的意义是什么？如此而已——一个十分简单的问题；一个随着年华的消逝会向你越逼越近的问题。那伟大的启示从来没有出现。也许那伟大的启示永远也不会出现。出现的是日常生活中小小的奇迹、启发、仿佛在黑暗中意外地擦亮了的火柴。

《达洛卫夫人》
Mrs. Dalloway
弗吉尼亚•伍尔芙 Virginia Woolf
如果说小说作为媒介最天才之处在于其破除人类意识的囹圄、暴露人们那些构成内在世界的细若蛛丝的思绪、情感和记忆，那么伍尔芙的这第四部小说就是孤立巅峰之作。
经典名句
…but that somehow in the streets of London, on the ebb and flow of things, here there, she survived. Peter survived, lived in each other, she being part, she was positive, of the trees at home; of the house there, ugly, rambling all to bits and pieces as it was; part of people she had never met; being laid out like a mist between the people she knew best, who lifted her on their branches as she had seen the trees lift the mist, but it spread ever so far, her life, herself.
但是不知何故在伦敦的大街上，在这里、在那里，经历了人世盛衰，她幸存下来了，彼得幸存下来了，活在彼此的心中。她坚信自己是故乡树林的一部分，是那栋丑陋的、破败不堪的房屋的一部分，是那些素未谋面的人们的一部分。她如薄雾一般在最熟悉的人们中间铺散开来，这些人把她擎在他们的枝蔓上，正如她曾见过的树木托着薄雾，而她却蔓延得如此遥远，她的生活、她自身。
