We read to know we are not alone.

要写好文章，像普通人一样表达自己，但要像智者一样思考。

"To write a life is to give it a second chance."

对我来说，这总是很奇怪……我们钦佩的人的品质，如善良、慷慨、开放、诚实、理解和感受，在我们的系统中是失败的伴随物。而我们厌恶的那些特质，如精明、贪婪、占有欲、卑鄙、自我中心和自私，是成功的特质。

【译文】 孔子说：“树立崇高理想、培养高尚品德、心怀仁慈友爱、陶冶高雅情操。”

Start where you are, with what you have. Make something of it. Never be satisfied.

I always work hard, no matter what. I’m always focused on what I want to achieve.

Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.

He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster.

每个孩子都应该玩泥饼、捉蚱蜢、玩水虫、养蝌蚪、抓青蛙、玩泥龟、采接骨木果、摘野草莓、捡橡子、采栗子、爬树、涉溪、赏睡莲、观察土拨鼠、蝙蝠、蜜蜂、蝴蝶，养各种小动物，在干草场玩耍，捡松果，滚石头，玩沙子，抓蛇，采越橘和胡蜂窝；任何被剥夺了这些乐趣的孩子，都被剥夺了教育中最美好的部分。

"I guess that’s just part of loving people: You have to give things up. Sometimes you even have to give them up."
