Where there is no law, but every man does what is right in his own eyes, there is the least of liberty.
没有律法,各人按自己的意见行义,这就是最小的自由。

Giacomo Casanova
贾科莫·卡萨诺瓦
The power of a glance has been so much abused in love stories that it has come to be disbelieved. Few people daresay nowadays that two beings have fallen in love because they have looked at eachother. Yet that is the way love begins, and only that way.
在爱情故事中,目光的力量被滥用得如此之多,以致人们开始不相信它了。现在很少有人敢说两个人相爱是因为他们互相看了一眼。然而,爱就是这样开始的,而且只有这样。
Victor Hugo
维克多·雨果
The principle of all successful effort is to try to do not what is absolutely the best, but what is easily within our power, and suited for our temperament and condition.
所有成功努力的原则都是,不要试图做绝对最好的,而要做在我们力所能及的范围内,并且适合我们的气质和条件的事情。
John Ruskin
约翰·罗斯金
There is nothing more majestic than the determined courage of individuals willing to suffer and sacrifice for their freedom and dignity.
没有什么比愿意为自由和尊严而受苦和牺牲的个人的坚定勇气更伟大的了。
Martin Luther King Jr
马丁·路德·金
An object imbued with intent - it has power, it's treasure, we're drawn to it. An object devoid of intent - it's random, it's imitative, it repels us. It's like a piece of junk mail to be thrown away.
一个充满意图的物体——它有力量,它是宝藏,我们被它吸引。一个没有意图的物体——它是随机的,它是模仿的,它排斥我们。这就像一封要扔掉的垃圾邮件。
John Hockenberry
约翰·霍肯伯里
Nobody rules safely, but he who has learned well how to obey.
只有懂得如何服从的人才能安全地统治。
