我不知道什么叫透过人的“心灵之窗”——眼睛去熟悉一个朋友的内心，我只能通过指尖的触摸“看到”一个人的脸部轮廓，我能察觉出一个人的欢笑、悲哀和许多别的明显的感情。我通过触摸朋友们的脸庞了解他们，但我不能通过触摸真正想象出他们的个性。

当然，我可以通过别的途径——通过他们向我表露的思想，通过他们的行动向我揭示的一切去了解他们的个性。然而我无法对他们有更深刻的了解，不过我相信如果能亲眼看到他们，观察到他们对所听到的言论和所遇到的事情的反应，注意到他们的眼睛和面部表情所表露出来的瞬息反应，我是可以获得这种了解的。
我对亲近的朋友十分了解，因为长年累月的接触使我在各方面都对他们很熟悉。但是对偶然遇到的朋友我的印象就很不全面，我只能从与他们握手中得到印象，从根据我的指尖在他们的嘴唇上触摸到的，或是他们在我的掌心轻轻地敲击而告诉我的话语中得到印象。

When I had progressed to really serious reading every night at about ten P.M., I would be outraged with the “lights out”. It always seemed to catch me right in the middle of something engrossing.
Fortunately, right outside my door was a corridor light that cast a glow into my room. The glow was enough to read by, once my eyes adjusted to it. So when “lights out” came, I would sit on the fool where I could continue reading in that glow.
At one-hour intervals the night guards paced past every room. Each time I heard the approaching footsteps, I jumped into bed and feigned sleep. And as soon as the guard passed, I got back out of bed into the floor area of that light-glow, where I would read for another fifty-eight minutes-until the guard approached again. That went on until three or four every morning. Three or four hours of sleep a night was enough was enough for me. Often in the year in the streets I had slept less than that.
