"Life on a lifeboat isn't much of a life. It is like an end game in chess, a game with few pieces. The elements couldn't be more simple, nor the stakes higher."

Sometimes I just feel like quitting, but then I think about all the people I’d be letting down.

The sun in the head, like a free man.

我只知道自己一无所知。

处于逆境中，就好比周身都扎着针、敷着药；冥冥中却能磨炼人的意志、培养高尚的品行。处于顺境中，就好比被各种各样的兵器包围；冥冥中掏空了身体，消磨了向上进取的意志。

To understand the present, we must first confront the past.

除了诱惑，我可以抵抗一切。
