My will shall shape the future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man's doing but my own. I am the force; I can clear any obstacle before me or I can be lost in the maze. My choice; my responsibility; win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny.

  • -- Elaine Maxwell 伊莲·麦克斯维尔

我的意志将塑造未来。无论我是失败还是成功,都将是我自己的事。我是原力;我可以扫清面前的任何障碍,也可以迷失在迷宫中。我的选择;我的责任;无论输赢,只有我掌握着自己命运的钥匙。
