上天让我们习惯各种事物，就是用它来代替幸福。 - 每日文摘

文学是在平凡生活中发现非凡之处的艺术。

Literature is the art of discovering something extraordinary in ordinary life.

吉勒·勒鲁瓦

量子力学中，单个系统的全部过去并不以绝对的方式决定其未来，而仅决定该系统未来可能状态的分布。

诺伯特·维纳

一个巧皮匠，没有好鞋样；两个笨皮匠，彼此有商量；三个臭皮匠，胜过诸葛亮。

诸葛亮

我们应该谦虚，因为你我都成就不了多少。我们都只是过客，一世纪以后都完全遗忘。生命太短促，不能老谈自己微小的成就来教人厌烦，且让我们鼓励别人多谈吧。

卡耐基

That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little run. So I ran to the end of the road, and when I got there, I thought maybe I'd run to the end of town. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd just run across Greenbow County. Now, I figured since I'd run this far, maybe I'd just run across the great state of Alabama. And that's what I did. I ran clear across Alabama. No particular reason. I just kept on going. I ran clear to the ocean. And when I got there, I figured since I'd gone this far, might as well turn around, just keep on going. And when I got to another ocean, I figured since I'd gone this far... I might as well just turn back and keep right on going. When I got tired, I slept. When I got hungry, I ate. When I had to go... you know... I went.

那一天，不知什么原因，我决定出去跑一趟，所以我跑到路的尽头。当我到达那里，我想也许我能跑到城边；而当我到达那里，我想也许我能跑遍绿茵县；这时我想既然我跑了那么远，也许我可以跑遍亚拉巴马州。我就这么做了。我横越整个亚拉巴马，不知什么原因，我继续跑，我一直跑到大海；当我到达那里，我想既然我跑了那么远，也许不如掉头继续跑，然后当我跑到另一个大海；我想既然我跑了那么远，我也许不如掉头，继续跑下去。当我累了，我就睡觉；当我饿了，我就吃饭；当我想去…你知道…我就去。
