The world is full of people whose notion of a satisfactory future is, in fact, a return to the idealised past.

The human mind is a complex and fascinating subject, and understanding it requires a deep dive into both the conscious and subconscious realms.

幸福不是现成的东西，它来自于你自己的行动。

The power of a story lies not in its length, but in its depth and the universality of its themes.

I'm drawn to a lovely quote by St. Augustine in "The City of God," where he says, "It's a sin to judge any man by his post." In modern English that would mean it's a sinto come to any view of who you should talk to, dependent on their business card. It's not the post that should count. According to St. Augustine, only God can really put everybody in their place; he's going to do that on the Day of Judgment, with angels and trumpets, and the skies will open. Insane idea, if you're a secularist person, like me. But something very valuable in that idea, nevertheless.

在这个不断试图改变你的世界里做自己，是最大的成就。

真相并不总是美丽，美丽的言辞也不一定是真相。
