The ideas of economists and political philosophers， both when they are right and when they are wrong， are more powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed the world is ruled by little else. Practical men， who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence， are usually the slaves of some defunct economist.

没有必要接受你所知道的生活强加给你的选择。

我相信修指甲。我相信盛装打扮。我相信在闲暇时打扮和涂口红。我相信粉红色。我相信笑是最好的减肥方法。我相信亲吻，多多地亲吻。我相信当一切似乎都不顺时，要坚强。我相信快乐的女孩是最美的女孩。我相信明天又是新的一天，我相信奇迹。

在观察的领域中，机遇只偏爱那种有准备的头脑。
