The truth is rarely pure and never simple.

我是春蚕，吃了桑叶就要吐丝，哪怕放在锅里煮，死了丝还不断，为了给人间添一点温暖。

巴金

它们不是纪念碑，而是脚印。纪念碑只会说'至少我到了这里'，而脚印会说'这是我再次移动时所在的地方'。

They are not monuments, but footprints. A monument only says, 'At least I got this far,' while a footprint says, 'This is where I was when I moved again.'

威廉·福克纳

一门心思地朝九晚五去上班，买了车买了房又如何？真正牛B的人生，应该是既可以朝九晚五，又能够浪迹天涯。

心统性情者也。

心是统摄性和情的。

让我能够做出人生重大抉择的最主要办法是，记住生命随时都有可能结束。因为几乎所有的东西——所有对自身之外的希求、所有的尊严、所有对困窘和失败的恐惧——在死亡来临时都将不复存在，只剩下真正重要的东西。记住自己随时都会死去，这是我所知道的防止患得患失的最好方法。你已经一无所有了，还有什么理由不跟着自己的感觉走呢。

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything—all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure—these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

史蒂夫·乔布斯

"Memory is a strange thing, it doesn't work like a camera or a tape recorder, it reconstructs things, it edits the past with the scissors of the present."

记忆是个奇怪的东西，它不像相机或录音机那样工作，它会重建事物，用现在的剪刀剪辑过去。

哈维尔·马里亚斯

回忆无法还原过去的生活，它只是偶然提醒我们：过去曾拥有过什么？

最安全的做法是不违背良心。有了这个秘诀，我们可以享受生活，不害怕死亡。

伏尔泰

要上战场，莫如做军医；要革命，莫如走后方；要杀人，莫如做刽子手。既英雄，又稳当。

鲁迅

士人不当以世事分读书，当以读书通世事。
