把这一句，留给此刻的你
Two of the cruelest, most primitive punishments our town deals out to those who fall from favor are the empty mailbox and the silent telephone.
我们镇上对失宠者最残酷、最原始的两种惩罚是空信箱和无声电话。
A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT
给此刻的你，一点向前的力量。
关于学习、善意与成长，读一句，再想一想。
The belief that youth is the happiest time of life is founded on a fallacy. The happiest person is the person who thinks the most interesting thoughts, and we grow happier as we grow older.
认为青春是一生中最快乐的时光的想法是建立在一种谬论的基础上的。最快乐的人是那些能想到最有趣想法的人，随着年龄的增长，我们会变得更快乐。
Life is not about growing old. It's about growing up.
生活不是变老。而是关于成长。
Human beings are accustomed to think of intellect as the power of having and controlling ideas and of ability to learn as synonymous with ability to have ideas. But learning by having ideas is really one of the rare and isolated events in nature.
人类习惯于认为智力是拥有和控制思想的力量，学习能力是拥有思想的能力的同义词。但是，通过有想法来学习，实际上是自然界中罕见而孤立的事件之一。
