Gabriel García Márquez

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?

Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.
希望和乐观肯定不是一回事。不是坚信某事会有好结果，而是确信某事有意义，不管结果如何。
Vaclav Havel
瓦茨拉夫·哈维尔
The rare person is still interested in new advances when they are adults. There is possibly a correlation with intelligence. In any case, you have to be fairly bright to keep learning and changing attitudes as you get older.
很少有人在成年后仍然对新的进步感兴趣。这可能与智力有关。无论如何，随着年龄的增长，你必须相当聪明才能不断学习并改变态度。

Men should be judged not by their tint of skin, the gods they serve, the vintage they drink, nor by the way they fight, or love, or sin, but by the quality of the thought they think.
评判一个人，不应该看他的肤色、他所侍奉的神、他喝的酒的年份，也不应该看他打架、恋爱或犯罪的方式，而应该看他思考的品质。

Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.
希望是重要的，因为它可以使现在的时刻不那么难以忍受。如果我们相信明天会更好，我们今天就能吃苦。
