我知道，尽管机体非常复杂，生命依然简单朴实；当失去了最基本的简朴时，一切都将破碎。

"Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful."

罗恩·霍华德

扶桑虽然粗枝大叶，单瓣的伞状花冠却开得细嫩如绢;复瓣的扶桑则沉沉垂下，不胜隔夜的露珠之重。

The state is not a work of art; it is a necessity.

国家不是艺术品，而是一种必需。

特奥多尔·蒙森

我们之所以会去抓取那些分散注意力的消遣手段，往往是想借助它们来满足某些未被满足的需求，比如想要体验兴奋和激动的感觉，想要逃离当下，或是想要满足好奇心。

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。
