法律体系的存在取决于官员对次要规则的接受。

生命短暂，由你来让它甜蜜。

每一天都是变得更好的机会。

The best moments in our lives are not the passive, receptive, relaxing times... The best moments usually occur if a person's body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile.

The time at our disposal each day is elastic; the passions we feel dilate it, those we inspire contract it; and habit fills up what remains.

I'm not a girl who gives up. I'm a girl who fights.

译文：有真才实学的人往往深藏不露，懂得韬光养晦，如同那未经打磨雕琢的美玉一般，虽不炫目，但质朴无华，日久自会彰显出光彩。读书学习一定不能间断，就像那连绵不断的流水和行云一般，每天都会前进而不能停下脚步。赏析：有才学的人值得敬佩和学习，但不能恃才傲物，骄横跋扈，要做德才兼备的读书人。读书最忌断断续续，浅尝辄止，读书学习要守得住寂寞。学海无涯，学无止境，锲而不舍，方能学有所成。

小说的目的是对抗孤独。
