Civilization is a stream with banks. The stream is sometimes filled with blood from people killing, stealing, shouting and doing the things historians usually record, while on the banks, unnoticed, people build homes, make love, raise children, sing songs, write poetry and even whittle statues. The story of civilization is the story of what happened on the banks.

"Experience is merely the name men gave to their mistakes."

怒气太强盛就会伤害别人，欲念过多则会伤害自己，贪图安逸会伤害性情，忧虑过多就会损害志向。

记忆就像一面破碎成千片的镜子，然而每一片碎片都映照出完整的真相。
