"The future is not a result of choices among alternative paths offered by the present, but a place that is created—created first in the mind and will, created next in activity."
出自北齐·颜之推《颜氏家训·勉学篇》。秉，持、拿。犹，还。贤乎，胜于。少年时代就好学，就像是早上初升的太阳之光；老来才知道虚心向学，就像是拿着蜡烛走在暗夜中。尽管如此，还是比闭着眼睛什么也看不到要强多了。意在鼓励人们时刻不忘学习上进，如果错过学习的最佳时机，努力追补，仍然是精神可嘉的表现。
"To be a writer is to be interested in everything."
