阅读的艺术在很大程度上是从书中与生活的相遇中获得更好的理解。
The art of reading is in great part that of acquiring a better understanding of life from one's encounter with it in a book.
这就是学习的意义。你突然以一种新的方式理解了你一生都理解的东西。
Don‘t bother fighting the old； just build the new.
译文：从古至今英雄人物总是要经历磨难才能成就大业，而娇生惯养之辈总是缺少气概难以成就伟业。赏析：生于忧患，死于安乐。一个人要想成功必定要经历很多痛苦和艰难，如果人太安逸和舒适了，就会丧失斗志。
Learning from failure is more valuable than celebrating success.
The dead are not silent. They are merely waiting to be heard.
艺术应当提升灵魂，而不仅仅是取悦感官。
The only way to be free is to serve.
