中国是个农民大国，它面临两个基本矛盾：一是人地关系高度紧张，我们把它叫做“基本国情矛盾”；二是基本体制矛盾，就是城乡二元结构。
——2002年6月温铁军在清华大学的一次讲座
You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.
未来属于那些相信自己梦想之美的人。
【译文】 孔子在河边说：“时光如流水！日夜不停留。”
Life is a tragedy for those who feel, and a comedy for those who think.
The most dangerous thought you can have as a creative person is to think that you know what you're doing.
只有通过苦难才能理解生命的深度。
