永远不要低估观察的力量——有时最小的细节会带来最大的发现。

The future isn't written in the stars. There are no guarantees. So claim your adulthood. Be intentional. Get to work. Pick your family. Do the math. Make your own certainty. Don't be defined by what you didn't know or didn't do. You are deciding your life right now.

The more determinedly I exist, as myself, within the conditions of the time, the more clearly I shall hear the language of the past, the nearer I shall feel the breath of universal history.

脸上有个污点，别人见了都暗自发笑，而自己还不知道，一旦有人直言相告，马上就用手拭去。如果还说：「我脸上有污点，与你有什么关系？」就不合乎人之常情了。可是当别人指出自身的缺点错误时，人们的态度为何就不是这样呢？

生活中唯一真正的失败是不忠于自己所知道的最好的东西。

我们的现代头颅里装着一个石器时代的心智。
