"I have always liked the phrase 'nursing a grudge,' because many people are tender of their resentments, as of the thing nearest their hearts."

我一直喜欢“怀恨在心”这个短语，因为许多人对他们的怨恨很温柔，就像对待他们心中最亲近的东西一样。

玛丽莲·罗宾逊

我会忘了你，这是真的吗？让这句话成为我最后的话。

泰戈尔

包子小，小到只好一口一个，但是每个都包得俏式，小蒸茏里垫着松针（可惜松针时常是用得太久了一些），有卖相。名为汤包，实际上包子里面并没有多少汤汁，倒是外附一碗清汤，表面上浮着七条八条的蛋皮丝，有人把包子丢在汤里再吃，成为名副其实的汤包了。这种小汤包馅子固然不恶，妙处却在包子皮，半发半不发，薄厚适度，制作上颇有技巧，台北也有人仿制上海式的汤包，得其仿佛，已经很难得了。

梁实秋

君主不应以统治为目的，而应传播道德，教化和福泽。

拿破仑

在变化无常的人生中，我们要特别避免那种为了将来而牺牲现在的过于谨慎的畏首畏尾的做法，这种做法往往是为了将来根本得不到的东西而牺牲现在能够得到的东西。

卢梭

不存在所谓的质量问题。

There is no such thing as a quality problem.

I have a vivid memory of what happened， and it was not what I expected. I expected to be applauded for my cleverness and arithmetic skills. "Jeff， you're so smart. You had to have made some tricky estimates， figure out the number of minutes in a year and do some division." That's not what happened. Instead， my grandmother burst into tears. I sat in the backseat and did not know what to do. While my grandmother sat crying， my grandfather， who had been driving in silence， pulled over onto the shoulder of the highway. He got out of the car and came around and opened my door and waited for me to follow. Was I in trouble？ My grandfather was a highly intelligent， quiet man. He had never said a harsh word to me， and maybe this was to be the first time？ Or maybe he would ask that I get back in the car and apologize to my grandmother. I had no experience in this realm with my grandparents and no way to gauge what the consequences might be. We stopped beside the trailer. My grandfather looked at me， and after a bit of silence， he gently and calmly said， "Jeff， one day you'll understand that it's harder to be kind than clever."

我清晰地记得接下来发生了什么，而那是我意料之外的。我本期待着小聪明和算术技巧能赢得掌声，但那并没有发生。相反，我的祖母哭泣起来。我的祖父之前一直在默默开车，把车停在了路边，走下车来，打开了我的车门，等着我跟他下车。我惹麻烦了吗？我的祖父是一个智慧而安静的人。他从来没有对我说过严厉的话，难道这会是第一次？还是他会让我回到车上跟祖母道歉？我以前从未遇到过这种状况，因而也无从知晓会有什么后果发生。我们在房车旁停下来。祖父注视着我，沉默片刻，然后轻轻地、平静地说："杰夫，有一天你会明白，善良比聪明更难。"

杰夫·贝索斯

说了许多好读书的坏处，当然坏处还多，譬如好读书不是好丈夫，好读书没有好人缘，好读书性情古怪。但是，能好读书必有读书的好，譬如能识天地之大，能晓人生之难，有自知之明，有预料之先，不为苦而悲，不受宠而欢，寂寞时不寂寞，孤单时不孤单，所以绝权欲，弃浮华，潇洒达观，于嚣烦尘世而自尊自重自强自立不卑不畏不俗不谄。

贾平凹

投资就像下棋，既要看眼前的一步，也要想后面的十步。

锦瑟无端五十弦，一弦一柱思华年。庄生晓梦迷蝴蝶，望帝春心托杜鹃。

李商隐

当他们说：“我主持正义”，听起来总像在说：“我出了口气”

尼采

试看将来的环球，必是赤旗的世界！

I'm a feminist, but I think that romance has been taken away a bit for my generation. I think what people connect with in novels is this idea of an overpowering, encompassing love—and it being more important and special than anything and everything else.
