Derek Walcott
沃尔科特
Revenge is a kind of wild justice, which the more man’s nature runs to, the more ought law to weed it out.
复仇是一种野蛮的正义，人的天性越是追求这种正义，法律就越应该把它铲除。
Francis Bacon
弗朗西斯·培根
Books are written by martyr-men, not for rich men alone but for all men. If we consider it, every human being has, by the nature of the case, a right to hear what other wise human beings have spoken to him. It is one of the Rights of Men; a very cruel injustice if you deny it to a man!
书是殉道者写的，不是只为富人写的，而是为所有人写的。如果我们仔细想想，每个人都有权利听到其他智者对他说过的话。这是人的权利之一;如果你对一个人否认，那是非常残酷的不公平!
Thomas Carlyle
托马斯·卡莱尔
The only way to find out anything about what kinds of lives people led in any given period is to tunnel into their records and to let them speak for themselves.
要想知道人们在特定时期过着怎样的生活，唯一的方法就是挖掘他们的记录，让他们为自己说话。

Eternal truth, eternal righteousness, eternal love; these only can triumph, for these only can endure.
永恒的真理，永恒的正义，永恒的爱;只有这样才能胜利，因为只有这样才能持久。
Joseph Barber Lightfoot

We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.
使我们明智的不是回忆过去，而是对未来的责任。
George Bernard Shaw
萧伯纳
