“ You define a good flight by negatives: you didn't get hijacked, you didn't crash, you didn't throw up, you weren't late, you weren't nauseated by the food. So you are grateful. 你用负面评价来定义一次好的飞行:你没有被劫持,你没有坠机,你没有呕吐,你没有迟到,你没有被食物恶心。所以你很感激。 Paul Theroux 保罗·泰鲁
“ It is better to make a piece of music than to perform one, better to perform one than to listen to one, better to listen to one than to misuse it as a means of distraction, entertainment, or acquisition of "culture." 创作一段音乐比演奏一段好,演奏一段比听一段好,听一段比把它当作消遣、娱乐或获得“文化”的手段要好。 John Cage 约翰·凯奇
“ Remember that you are needed. There is at least one important work to be done that will not be done unless you do it. 记住你是被需要的。至少有一件重要的工作要做,除非你去做,否则是不会去做的。 Charles L. Allen 查尔斯·L·艾伦
