沙漠教会人耐心、沉默，以及聆听时间低语的艺术。

The desert teaches patience, silence, and the art of listening to the whispers of time.

贾迈勒·黑托尼

我要做一个预测：在你们80岁时某个追忆往昔的时刻，只有你一个人静静对内心诉说着你的人生故事，其中最为充实、最有意义的那段讲述，会被你们作出的一系列决定所填满。最后，是选择塑造了我们的人生。为你自己塑造一个伟大的人生故事。

I will hazard a prediction. When you are 80 years old， and in a quiet moment of reflection narrating for only yourself the most personal version of your life story， the telling that will be most compact and meaningful will be the series of choices you have made. In the end， we are our choices. Build yourself a great story.

杰夫·贝索斯

We are all archives of our own existence.

The art of living is to know when to hold fast and when to let go.

生活的艺术在于知道何时坚持，何时放手。

乔治·吉辛

The world is what it is; men who are nothing, who allow themselves to become nothing, have no place in it.

世界就是它本来的样子；那些一无是处、自甘堕落的人，在这个世界上没有立足之地。

基兰·德赛

Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.

每位艺术家都将画笔浸入自己的灵魂，将自己的本性绘入画作。
