Quotes
I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.
It is not often that someone comes along who is a true friend and a good writer.
One of the most time-consuming things is to have an enemy.

“E. B. White has the distinction of being one of the few writers to really express the misery of seasonal allergies.”

你看過《梅岡城故事》(To Kill a Mockingbird) 這本書或電影嗎？小說是在1960年的今天，7月11日 出版，於1961年獲得普立茲獎。《梅岡城故事》是關於一個男人遭人指控他未曾犯過的罪行,書中並觸及美國社會的黑白種族問題和窮人富人之間的關係。本書的作者哈波．李 (Harper Lee) 出生於1926的阿拉巴馬州門羅維爾，當時所有活動都會在郡廣場舉辦，廣場的中心點就是舊法院大樓。舊法院大樓的法庭是啟發她的靈感並進而化成為書中的一部份。當小說要拍攝成電影時，據說哈波．李堅持電影導演要在開始架構電影場景前，先造訪門羅郡的舊法院大樓。電影中的主角由影星葛雷哥萊畢克 (Gregory Peck) 扮演，他也曾到過鎮上並參觀舊法院大樓。每年五月，在法庭及舊門羅郡法院大樓 (Monroe County Courthouse) 的草坪上，演員們會演出曾獲普立茲獎的小說《梅岡城故事》(To Kill a Mockingbird), 想閱讀本書, 歡迎到全台各地的美國資料中心借閱: https⋯⋯

Jan. 31：

李筱峰 新增了  2 張相片 。 《燦爛的星辰》停刊聲明 我這個專欄推出至今屆滿一個月，這一個月來我發現讀者很少，反應極為冷淡。我訪問過許多位親友及學生，大多不感興趣。甚至，連原本向我預約準備在年底集結成書出版的出版社總編輯，看了我這個月的「試寫」之後，也建議我停筆。如果讀者冷淡無興趣，而我又必須每天費時去溫習、爬梳龐雜資料才下筆，這對於癌術後的我，確實是無意義的負擔，而且也浪費民報珍貴的篇幅。因此我決定見「壞」就收，從今天起結束《燦爛的星辰》這個專欄。 今天的壽星舒伯特，有著名的「未完成交響曲」，是我喜愛的音樂。然而我這個「未完成」的專欄，卻是情非得已。 感謝民報這個月來容許我自由揮灑；也感謝這個月來每天看《燦爛的星辰》的少數讀友，當然也要請你們包涵體諒！
