把这一句，留给此刻的你
In the attempt to defeat death man has been inevitably obliged to defeat life, for the two are inextricably related. Life moves on to death, and to deny one is to deny the other.
在战胜死亡的尝试中，人类不可避免地要战胜生命，因为这两者是密不可分的。生命走向死亡，否认一个就是否认另一个。
— Henry Miller 亨利·米勒

Steve Jobs
史蒂夫·乔布斯
It is in vain to hope to please all alike. Let a man stand with his face in what direction he will, he must necessarily turn his back on one half of the world.
希望所有人都一样高兴是徒劳的。让一个人站在他想要的方向上，他一定要背对半个世界。

乔治D.普伦蒂斯
No race can prosper until it learns that there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem. It is at the bottom of life we must begin, and not at the top.
只有当一个民族意识到耕种田地和写诗一样有尊严时，这个民族才能繁荣昌盛。我们必须从生命的最底层开始，而不是从最顶层开始。
Booker T. Washington
布克·华盛顿
The cause of justice is the cause of humanity. Its advocates should overflow with universal good will. We should love this cause, for it conduces to the general happiness of mankind.
正义的事业就是人类的事业。它的倡导者应该洋溢着普遍的善意。我们应该热爱这项事业，因为它有助于人类的普遍幸福。
William Godwin
威廉·葛德文
Love is the crowning grace of humanity, the holiest right of the soul, the golden link which binds us to duty and truth, the redeeming principle that chiefly reconciles the heart to life, and is prophetic of eternal good.
爱是人类至高无上的恩典，是灵魂最神圣的权利，是将我们与责任和真理联系在一起的黄金纽带，是使心灵与生活协调一致、预示永恒美好的救赎原则。
Francesco Petrarca
彼特拉克
A novel makes it possible to understand not just events, but the people who control the events; not only their choices, but also their motives.
小说使我们不仅能够理解事件，而且能够理解控制事件的人;不仅是他们的选择，还有他们的动机。
