The only real freedom is the freedom to say no.

"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."

不要因为别人辜负我就打消行善济人的念头，想想我当初帮助别人时，只不过是在同情心驱使下做出的举动，并未想着要别人报答。至于说遇上了忘恩负义的人，不必与之计较，付之一笑罢了。

Worth repeating: measure twice， cut once.

I love argument, I love debate. I don't expect anyone just to sit there and agree with me, that's not their job.

乐观的基础是纯粹的恐惧。
