動人的段落

84, Charing Cross Road was no bestseller, you understand; it didn't make me rich or famous. It just got me hundreds of letters and phone calls from people I never knew existed; it got me wonderful reviews; it restored a self-confidence and self-esteem I'd lost somewhere along the way, God knows how many years ago. --- Helene Hanff

你知道，《查令十字街84號》並非一紙風行。這本書沒讓我一夜富貴或一舉成名，它只是讓我收到數以百計的讀者來函和來電；這些人，我從不知道他們存在。別人對這本書的好評，讓我重拾失落已久的自信和自尊，天曉得我在多久以前把它們遺落在路上。(海蓮‧漢芙)
