我们活在最好的世界中，因为它是由一切可能性中选择而来的。

"A novel is a conversation between the writer and the reader, across time and space."

The statesman， who should attempt to direct private people in what manner they ought to employ their capitals， would not only load himself with a most unnecessary attention but assume an authority which could safely be trusted， not only to no single person， but to no council or senate whatever， and which would nowhere be so dangerous as in the hands of a man who had folly and presumption enough to fancy himself fit to exercise it.

坚持和耐心总会带来成果。

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.

The world needs pragmatic solutions, not just idealistic visions.
