想着这难度的长夜，感到一种深宵旷野独行者的恐怯。 - 每日文摘

给他们面子是我自己要面子。

当某件事行不通时，不要盲目自信，否则你会被一个糟糕的方案蒙住双眼。

埃隆·马斯克

人活在世界上，重要的是爱人的能力，而不是被爱。我们不懂得爱人又如何能被人所爱。

家康自始至终都是一片真心，正是这种真心，才会让众人都拜倒在他膝下。

我也是瞎子，我不停的说啊！说啊！却没有看见你们是聋子。

我何尝不想了解广州，批评广州呢，无奈慨自被供在大钟楼上以来，工友以我为教授，学生以我为先生，广州人以我为“外江佬”，孤孑特立，无从考查。而最大的阻碍则是言语。直到我离开广州的时候止，我所知道的言语，除一二三四……等数目外，只有一句凡有“外江佬”几乎无不因为特别而记住的Hanbaran（统统）和一句凡有学习异地言语者几乎无不最容易学得而记住的骂人话Tiu-na-ma而已。

我们必须平衡当今对可负担能源的需求与建设可持续能源未来的必要性。

We must balance the need for affordable energy today with the imperative of building a sustainable energy future.

达伦·伍兹

好教育，是引导学生既能面向人类的幸福，也能直面人类的苦难的教育，它既是追寻幸福的教育，也是救赎人生苦难的教育。

落寞无主日沉苦，晚寐披衣舞。寒月空中悬，风拂纱帐，心思断愁肠。俯首对花花影动，东风意捉弄。面色胜倾城，却为情故，秀眉又轻蹙。

Tragic art, as it developed in the theaters of ancient Greece, in the fifth century B.C., was essentially an art form devoted to tracing how people fail, and also according them a level of sympathy, which ordinary life would not necessarily accord them. A few years ago, I was thinking about this, and I went to "The Sunday Sport," a tabloid newspaper I don't recommend you start reading if you're not familiar with it already.

悲剧的艺术来自古希腊。西元前五世纪，这是一个专属于描绘人类失败过程的艺术，同时也加入某种程度的同情。在现代生活并不常给于同情时，几年前我思考着这件事，我去见“周日运动期刊”，如果你还不认识这个小报，我建议你也别去读。

在这喧嚣的世界里，我们需要静心聆听内心的声音。

As a kid， I spent my summers with my grandparents on their ranch in Texas. I helped fix windmills， vaccinate cattle， and do other chores. We also watched soap operas every afternoon， especially "Days of our Lives." My grandparents belonged to a Caravan Club， a group of Airstream trailer owners who travel together around the U.S. and Canada. And every few summers， we'd join the caravan. We'd hitch up the Airstream trailer to my grandfather's car， and off we'd go， in a line with 300 other Airstream adventurers. I loved and worshipped my grandparents and I really looked forward to these trips. On one particular trip， I was about 10 years old. I was rolling around in the big bench seat in the back of the car. My grandfather was driving. And my grandmother had the passenger seat. She smoked throughout these trips， and I hated the smell.

在我还是一个孩子的时候，我的夏天总是在德州祖父母的农场中度过。我帮忙修理风车，为牛接种疫苗，也做其它家务。每天下午，我们都会看肥皂剧，尤其是《我们的岁月》。我的祖父母参加了一个房车俱乐部，那是一群驾驶Airstream拖挂型房车的人们，他们结伴遍游美国和加拿大。每隔几个夏天，我也会加入他们。我们把房车挂在祖父的小汽车后面，然后加入300余名Airstream探险者们组成的浩荡队伍。我爱我的祖父母，我崇敬他们，也真心期盼这些旅程。那是一次我大概十岁时的旅行，我照例坐在后座的长椅上，祖父开着车，祖母坐在他旁边，吸着烟。我讨厌烟味。
