预测未来的最好方法就是创造未来。

Claiming your 20s is one of the simplest, yet most transformative, things you can do for work, for love, for your happiness, maybe even for the world.

梅格·杰伊

我们生在这没有宗教的时代，对这死实在太没有把握了。这以后许多思念你的日子，怕要全是昏暗的苦楚，不会有一一点的光明，除非我也有你那美丽的诗意的信仰！

林徽因

而那些相互欺瞒却又过着单纯、明了生活的人，抑或相互欺瞒却又胸有成竹地面对生活的人，着实令人费解。人类终究未能让我明白其中真谛。若我能明了，或许就不必如此地畏惧人类，也不必竭力讨好众人，更不至于与人类的生活对立，夜夜遭受地狱般的苦难。

太宰治

“大陆是母亲，台湾是妻子，香港是情人，欧洲是外遇。”我对朋友这么说过。

I'm drawn to a lovely quote by St. Augustine in "The City of God," where he says, "It's a sin to judge any man by his post." In modern English that would mean it's a sinto come to any view of who you should talk to, dependent on their business card. It's not the post that should count. According to St. Augustine, only God can really put everybody in their place; he's going to do that on the Day of Judgment, with angels and trumpets, and the skies will open. Insane idea, if you're a secularist person, like me. But something very valuable in that idea, nevertheless.

我很喜欢圣奥古斯丁在“上帝之城”里的一句话，他说“以社会地位评价人是一种罪”。用现在的口吻说，看一个人的名片来决定你是否要和他交谈是罪。对圣奥古斯丁来说，人的价值不在他的社会地位，只有神可以决定一个人的价值，他将在天使围绕、小号奏鸣，天空破开的世界末日给于最后审判，如果你是像我一样的世俗论者，这想法太疯狂了，但这想法有它的价值。

我讨厌那些不喜欢大蒜、洋葱或烟熏味的人。

I hate people who don't like garlic， onions， or the smell of smoke.

安东尼·伯尔顿

在科学中，我们站在巨人的肩膀上，但我们的责任是达到更高的高度。

In science, we stand on the shoulders of giants, but it is our responsibility to reach even higher.
