我除了作为演员之外，没有任何自我意识。

We suffer from an incurable disease called hope.

艺术家的角色是打扰舒适的人，安慰不安的人。

当真相被埋葬时，它仍在生长，虽被压抑，却积聚着这样一种力量，一旦爆发，它将炸毁一切，灰飞烟灭。

所谓智慧，就是拥有的问题比答案多。

At that age， I'd take any excuse to make estimates and do minor arithmetic. I'd calculate our gas mileage -- figure out useless statistics on things like grocery spending. I'd been hearing an ad campaign about smoking. I can't remember the details， but basically the ad said， every puff of a cigarette takes some number of minutes off of your life: I think it might have been two minutes per puff. At any rate， I decided to do the math for my grandmother. I estimated the number of cigarettes per days， estimated the number of puffs per cigarette and so on. When I was satisfied that I'd come up with a reasonable number， I poked my head into the front of the car， tapped my grandmother on the shoulder， and proudly proclaimed， "At two minutes per puff， you've taken nine years off your life！"

The passions that incline men to peace are fear of death, desire of such things as are necessary to commodious living, and a hope by their industry to obtain them.
