我们看到的不是事物的本质，而是自己的倒影。

The real competition is not between companies, but with yourself.

——〈在香港大学的演说〉（又名〈革命思想之产生〉），1923年2月19日

"A writer is a mirror reflecting the world, but also a lamp illuminating the dark corners of the human soul."

音乐是我的生命，没有音乐我活不下去。

I constantly see people rise in life who are not the smartest, sometimes not even the most diligent, but they are learning machines. They go to bed every night a little wiser than they were when they got up and boy does that help, particularly when you have a long run ahead of you.

The desire for recognition, the thymotic part of the soul, is the most politically relevant part of the soul.

There is no God higher than truth.

释义：脸上没有愤怒的表情是对他人的尊重，嘴里不说愤怒的话会散发出美好的气息。心中没有愤怒是无价的宝藏，这种心态是永恒不变的真理。
