The flame of the spirit burns brightest in solitude.

The greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.

即使在面临最严峻的挑战时，质量也绝不能妥协。

"The stage is a place where the dead return."

The more you know about yourself, the more patience you have for what you see in others.

The poet is a man who can find beauty in the ugliest of things.

At a restaurant do you order what you know is great， or do you try something new？ Do you make what you know will sell or try something new？ Do you keep dating new folks or try to commit to someone you already met？ The optimal balance for exploring new things vs exploiting them once found is: 1/3. Spend 1/3 of your time on exploring and 2/3 time on deepening. It is harder to devote time to exploring as you age because it seems unproductive， but aim for 1/3.
