把这一句，留给此刻的你

When we seek to change others to suit our desires we engage in folly, but when we seek to improve ourselves, as an example to others we can change the world.

当我们试图改变他人来满足自己的欲望时，我们是在做傻事，但当我们试图提高自己，作为他人的榜样时，我们可以改变世界。

— Christopher Earle 克里斯托弗·厄尔

关于学习、善意与成长，读一句，再想一想。

All action takes place, so to speak, in a kind of twilight, which like a fog or moonlight, often tends to make things seem grotesque and larger than they really are.

可以说，所有的行动都发生在一种朦胧之中，这种朦胧就像雾或月光一样，常常使事物显得怪诞，而且比实际情况还要大。

Carl von Clausewitz 克劳塞维茨

This is the artist, then, life's hungry man, the glutton of eternity, beauty's miser, glory's slave.

这就是艺术家，生命的饥饿者，永恒的饕餮者，美丽的守财奴，荣耀的奴隶。

Tom Wolfe 汤姆·沃尔夫

Sunrise offered a very beautiful spectacle; the water was quite unruffled, but the motion communicated by the tides was so great that, although there was not a breath of air stirring, the sea heaved slowly with a grand and majestic motion.

日出呈现出非常美丽的景象;海水非常平静，但是潮汐的运动是如此之大，虽然没有一丝空气的搅动，大海还是以一种宏伟而威严的运动缓慢地起伏着。
