“Finally, there is knowing. I know Walter will throw his...” 全部笔记（1） 去书内
This excerpt deepens the exploration of long-term love, focusing on resilience, mutual understanding, and comfort. After a week of heartache, the narrator finds solace in small joys: gladiolus blossoms, her son’s laughter, and a neighbor’s wedding. She and Walter reflect on life’s cycles, recognizing joys balance sorrows—a key to enduring their relationship. The passage then highlights "knowing" as a cornerstone of their love: they are familiar with each other’s flaws (Walter’s messy habits, the narrator’s forgetfulness) and accept them fully. The narrator concludes their love lasts not for the fleeting excitement of new romance (the sky isn’t bluer, they don’t feel young), but for the comfort of familiarity, shaped by shared growth, wisdom, and memories from decades together. This reinforces the theme that the "best kind of love" is rooted in acceptance and quiet companionship rather than passionate highs.

“As my friend raves on about her new love, I've taken a good...” 全部笔记（1） 去书内
This excerpt contrasts the exhilarating rush of new love with the enduring warmth of long-term partnership. The narrator’s friend, newly in love, gushes about feeling youthful, with the world seeming brighter and art moving her deeply—classic signs of infatuation, marked by physical transformation (losing 15 pounds) and emotional high. In contrast, the narrator reflects on her 20-year marriage to Walter, who has gained weight, lost his marathon stamina, and shows signs of aging from work and bad habits. Yet, their bond remains strong: a single look from Walter can make her eager to return home, and they find joy in small, spontaneous moments—like a playful newspaper fight or a grocery store race. When asked what makes love last, the narrator lists typical factors (commitment, communication) but emphasizes that shared fun and lightheartedness are the unspoken glue of their lasting relationship, defining the "best kind of love" as rooted in everyday joy rather than fleeting passion.

“Valentine's Day, 1996. I bring Roma to the Oprah Winfrey Show...” 全部笔记（1） 去书内
This excerpt concludes the love story of the narrator and Roma, spanning decades from the concentration camp to their reunion. After being separated during the war, the narrator proposes to Roma, who accepts with the same twinkling eyes she had as a girl tossing apples over the fence. Almost forty years pass, and the narrator frames their reconnection as destiny fulfilling the hope sparked by their wartime bond. On Valentine’s Day 1996, he brings Roma to The Oprah Winfrey Show, publicly declaring his enduring love: Roma fed his physical hunger in the camp, and now he remains "hungry for your love"—a metaphor for his endless emotional longing for her. The passage ties the camp’s small acts of kindness to a lifelong love, emphasizing love’s power to endure trauma and time, and framing their relationship as a destiny-driven fulfillment of hope.

Notes on Hungry for Your Love (Excerpt) This excerpt from Hungry for Your Love unfolds a poignant story set in a death camp, where a simple apple becomes a powerful symbol of life and human connection amid despair. The narrator, trapped in the camp’s bleak reality, finds hope when a girl tosses an apple over the fence—an act he interprets as a gesture of love and a reminder of life’s warmth in a world of death. This small interaction sparks a routine: for seven months, the girl returns daily with an apple, sharing a sweet smile and a silent bond with the narrator, whose joy in catching the apple and seeing her twinkling eyes becomes a rare source of light. The fragile peace is shattered when the narrator learns he will be shipped to another camp.

“In over a dozen years as a stress consultant, the most...” 全部笔记（1） 去书内
This passage by a stress consultant highlights a common destructive mindset: fixating on desires rather than what one already has. No matter how much people gain, their wants expand, leading to constant dissatisfaction. A friend’s example—wanting a bigger house right after buying a new one—illustrates this cycle: unmet desires breed discontent, and fulfilled ones just spark new cravings. The author argues happiness lies in shifting focus to gratitude for what we possess, not endless yearning for more. This simple mindset shift is presented as the key to breaking the cycle of unhappiness

“Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have...” 全部笔记（1） 去书内
This excerpt from Bertrand Russell’s work centers on three driving passions shaping his life: love, knowledge, and compassion for humanity’s suffering. Russell compares these passions to tempests that toss him through sorrow to despair’s edge. He seeks love for its ecstasy, solace from loneliness, and a glimpse of heaven. For knowledge, he strives to understand human nature and mathematical truths, yet admits limited success. The text blends emotional intensity with philosophical depth, using vivid metaphors (e.g., "ocean of anguish") to convey the power of these passions. Russell’s honest reflection reveals a life driven by profound longing and empathy, making the passage both personal and universal.

“Henry is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a...” 全部笔记（1） 去书内
Notes on Life Is All about Choices This passage tells the story of Henry, a perpetually positive man who views life through the lens of choice. He starts each day by picking a good mood, learns from misfortunes instead of playing the victim, and focuses on positivity when others complain. When questioned about his optimism, he argues life boils down to choices—stripping away the trivial, every situation lets us decide our attitude. His words remind me that happiness and resilience aren’t accidents, but active choices we make daily. This simple yet powerful idea changes how I see challenges: I can choose growth over despair.
