世界是一面镜子，我们在其中看到我们自己。

The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.

【原文】颜渊、季路侍。子曰：“盍各言尔志?”子路曰：“愿车马衣裘，与朋友共，敝之而无憾。”颜渊曰：“愿无伐善，无施劳。”子路曰：“愿闻子之志。”子曰：“老者安之，少者怀之，朋友信之。”【译文】颜渊、季路在孔子身边侍立。孔子说：“为什么不说说各人的志向呢?”子路说：“愿将车马和裘衣和朋友共用，坏了也不遗憾。”颜渊说：“但愿能做到不夸耀自己的优点、不表白自己的功劳。”子路说：“愿意听听老师您的志向。”孔子说：“但愿使老人能享受安乐，使少儿能得到关怀，使朋友能够信任我。”

The only real life is the life of the mind.

Nothing spoils a romance so much as sense of humour in the woman—or the want of it in the man.

The best architecture is sustainable.

"The power of a novel lies not in its plot, but in its ability to evoke emotions that resonate with the reader's own experiences."

整个世界变得越来越同质化，我认为保护文化身份很重要。
