把这一句,留给此刻的你
Old age is always wakeful; as if, the longer linked with life, the less man has to do with aught that looks like death.
老年总是清醒的;似乎,人与生命的联系越长,就越不愿意与任何看起来像死亡的东西打交道。
— Herman Melville 赫尔曼·梅尔维尔

It is not true that people stop pursuing dreams because they grow old, they grow old because they stop pursuing dreams.
人们不再追求梦想不是因为他们变老了,而是因为他们不再追求梦想而变老了。

Herman Melville
赫尔曼·梅尔维尔
Science says: "We must live," and seeks the means of prolonging, increasing, facilitating and amplifying life, of making it tolerable and acceptable; wisdom says: "We must die," and seeks how to make us die well.
科学说:“我们必须生活,”并寻求延长、增加、促进和扩大生命的方法,使之可以忍受和接受;智慧说:“我们必须死,”并寻求如何使我们死得好。

Our scientific age demands that we provide definitions, measurements, and statistics in order to be taken seriously. Yet most of the important things in life cannot be precisely defined or measured. Can we define or measure love, beauty, friendship, or decency, for example?
我们的科学时代要求我们提供定义、测量和统计数据,以便被认真对待。然而,生活中大多数重要的事情都无法精确定义或衡量。例如,我们能定义或衡量爱、美、友谊或体面吗?
