"The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there."

有了孩子，父母双方为了爱孩子，难免不生出许多零星琐碎的争执，应当事先彼此谈谈，让你们俩都有个思想准备：既不要在小地方固执，也不必为了难免的小争执而闹脾气。还有母性特强的妻子，往往会引起丈夫的妒忌，似乎一有孩子，自己在妻子心中的地位缩小了很多——这一点不能不先提醒你。因为大多数的西方女子，母性比东方女子表现得更强——我说“表现”，因为东方人的母爱，正如别的感情一样，不像西方女子那么显著的形诸于外。但过分的形诸于外，就容易惹动丈夫的妒意。

To write about war is to write about the silence that follows.

描写战争就是描写随之而来的沉默。

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。

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.

作家的笔正如鞋匠的锥，越用越锐利，到后来竟可以尖如缝衣之针。

林语堂

计算复杂性的美在于它能够根据问题的固有难度对问题进行分类。

"The beauty of computational complexity lies in its ability to classify problems based on their inherent difficulty."

有些人一旦错过了，就是一辈子。成长就是这样的，不断的告别，不断的遇见。
