这个世界用许多方法告诉我们，我们无所不能，我们不再受限于阶级，而是只要靠着努力就能攀上我们想到的高度。这是个美丽的理想，出于一种生而平等的精神，我们基本上是平等的，没有任何明显的阶级存在。这造成了一个严重的问题，这个问题是嫉妒。
We're told, from many sources, that any onecan achieve anything. We've done away with the caste system, we are now in a system where anyone can rise to any position they please. And it's a beautiful idea. Along with that is a kind of spirit of equality; we're all basically equal. There are no strictly defined hierarchies. There is one really big problem with this, and that problem is envy.
The only real failure is not trying.
我们每天可支配的时间是弹性的；我们感受到的激情会扩展它，我们激发的激情会收缩它。
不要信任所有人，但要信任有价值的人；前者是愚蠢的，后者是谨慎的标志。
语言是唯一的家园。
一本书永远是通往另一个世界的敞开之门。
