"The power of a story lies not in its truth, but in its ability to connect us to the human experience."
故事的力量不在于它的真实性，而在于它能够将我们与人类的经验联系起来。
质量会被长久记住，而价格很快被遗忘。
译文：清贫的生活，对读书人来说，就是顺境；节俭的日子，对种田人来说，就是丰收的年岁。赏析：读书要耐得住寂寞。清贫的生活能排除浮华奢糜之事，否则只会扰乱身心与学业。节俭是良好的美德，也是人类生存之需要。如果平常俭约，有所积蓄，即使是收成很差，也能丰衣足食。假如不懂得节俭，泿费粮食，即使年年丰收，也会缺衣少食。
出自《周易·系辞》，杨国荣在著作中阐释其哲学意义
The desire for recognition, the thymotic part of the soul, is the most fundamentally human part of the human personality.
Literature is the memory of humanity, and without memory, humanity would be lost.
