I have to say to myself that some birds aren't very close. Their feathers are just too bright. When they fly away, you know it's a sin to lock them up, and you'll be inspired by them. Still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I think I really miss my friends.
我得经常同自己说，有些鸟儿是关不住的。它们的羽毛太鲜亮了。当它们飞走的时候，你心底里知道把它们关起来是一种罪恶，你会因此而振奋。不过，它们一走，你住的地方也就更加灰暗空虚。我觉得我真是怀念我的朋友。

诗歌不是奢侈品，而是精神的必需品。
快乐的最好方式是让别人快乐。
译文：从深山里开采出来，经过千锤百炼，烈火焚烧也毫不在乎。就算粉身碎骨也不怕，只为在世上留下清白的名声。
除了非常聪明之外，别无他法。
