把这一句，留给此刻的你
Words - so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them.
单词——它们是如此的无辜和无力，就像站在字典里，在一个知道如何将它们结合在一起的人的手中，它们对善恶的力量是多么的强大。
— Nathaniel Hawthorne 纳撒尼尔·霍桑

Music is just a word for something we love largely because it consists of things that words can't express. Likewise, the heart is just a word for something in us that music sometimes touches.
音乐只是我们所爱之物的一个词，很大程度上是因为它包含了语言无法表达的东西。同样，心只是一个词，用来形容我们身上的某些东西，而音乐有时也会触及这些东西。

It is not because the truth is too difficult to see that we make mistakes... we make mistakes because the easiest and most comfortable course for us is to seek insight where it accords with our emotions - especially selfish ones.
并不是因为真相太难看清，我们才会犯错……我们会犯错，因为对我们来说，最简单、最舒服的方法就是寻找符合我们情感的洞察力——尤其是自私的情感。

We speak not only to tell other people what we think, but to tell ourselves what we think. Speech is a part of thought.
我们说话不仅是为了告诉别人我们的想法，也是为了告诉自己我们的想法。语言是思想的一部分。
Oliver Sacks
奥利弗·萨克斯
To know how to say what others only know how to think is what makes men poets or sages; and to dare to say what others only dare to think makes men martyrs or reformers - or both.
知道如何表达别人只知道如何思考的东西，这使人成为诗人或圣人;敢于说出别人只敢想的话，会让人成为殉道者或改革家——或者两者兼而有之。
Elizabeth Charles
伊丽莎白·查尔斯
It is by doubting that we come to investigate, and by investigating that we recognize the truth.
只有通过怀疑，我们才能开始调查，通过调查，我们才能认识到真相。
