推理小说的魅力在于，它不仅仅是解谜，更是对人性的深刻剖析。《推理要在晚餐后》

The real is not only what can be reproduced, but that which is always already reproduced. That is the hyperreal.

将自己的一生奉献给一门职业，埋头苦干，孜孜不倦，这样的人最有魅力，也最能打动我心弦。

吊筋狱幽枉狱火坑狱，寂寂寥寥，烦烦恼恼，尽皆是生前作下千般业，死后通来受罪名。酆都狱拔舌狱剥皮狱，哭哭啼啼，凄凄惨惨，只因不忠不孝伤天理，佛口蛇心堕此门。磨捱狱碓捣狱车崩狱，皮开肉绽，抹嘴咨牙，乃是瞒心昧己不公道，巧语花言暗损人。寒冰狱脱壳狱抽肠狱，垢面蓬头，愁眉皱眼，都是大斗小秤欺痴蠢，致使灾屯累自身。油锅狱黑暗狱刀山狱，战战兢兢，悲悲切切，皆因强暴欺良善，藏头缩颈苦伶仃。

效率（的重要性）被过度强调了，而放空（的重要性）则被严重低估了。定期的周日安息、职业年假、度假出游、工作日中的茶歇、漫无目的的散步和离开工作的时间，对一切领域获得顶级成就都极其重要。最好的工作，需要有良好的休息作为保障。

Efficiency is highly overrated； Goofing off is highly underrated. Regularly scheduled sabbaths， sabbaticals， vacations， breaks， aimless walks and time off are essential for top performance of any kind. The best work ethic requires a good rest ethic.

在他和医生看来，下棋与其说是一门学问，不如说是一种理性的对话。

万夫一力，天下无敌。

刘伯温

若是一个大学单从事于零星专门知识的传授，既乏学术研究的空气，又无科学方法的训练，则其学生之思想难收到融会贯通之效。

竺可桢

人们的天性如此，人们往往期望从对比中获得强烈的快乐，但忽略了从自身拥有的东西中获得快乐。

弗洛伊德

不要以为一个人一时正确，就认为他永远正确。也不要因为一个人犯过错误，就断定他永远不可能再加入优秀者的队伍。

It's probably as unlikely that you would nowadays become as rich and famous as Bill Gates, as it was unlikely in the17th century that you would accede to the ranks of the French aristocracy. But the point is, it doesn't feel that way. It's made to feel, by magazines and other media outlets, that if you've got energy, a few bright ideas about technology, a garage -- you, too, could start a major thing.
