如果你不愿意学习，没人能帮你。如果你决心学习，没人能阻止你。

If you are not willing to learn, no one can help you. If you are determined to learn, no one can stop you.

如果给我一部时间机器，我会告诉21岁的自己，人的幸福在于知道生活不是一份漂亮的成绩单，你的资历、简历，都不是你的生活，虽然你会碰到很多与我同龄或更老一点的人今天依然还在混淆两者。生活是艰辛的，复杂的，超出任何人的控制能力，而谦恭地了解这一点，将使你历经沧桑后能够更好的生存。

So given a Time Turner, I would tell my 21-year-old self that personal happiness lies in knowing that life is not a check-list of acquisition or achievement. Your qualifications, your CV, are not your life, though you will meet many people of my age and older who confuse the two. Life is difficult, and complicated, and beyond anyone’s total control, and the humility to know that will enable you to survive its vicissitudes.

J.K.罗琳

在痛苦与虚无之间，我选择痛苦。

Given the choice between the experience of pain and nothing, I would choose pain.

威廉·福克纳

Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.

不能言说之事，必须保持沉默。

维特根斯坦

人活着，一是为钱，二得要脸，挣钱不就是为了活个体面吗？

一个骄傲的人，结果总是在骄傲里毁灭了自己。

莎士比亚

The true joy of research comes from pushing the boundaries of what we thought was possible.
