伟大不是被给予的，而是赢得的。
Greatness is not given, it’s earned.
Life is not worth living if it is not subject to reexamination.
Conflict is the gadfly of thought. It stirs us to observation and memory. It instigates to invention. It shocks us out of sheeplike passivity, and sets us at noting and contriving.
言语会让人眼花缭乱、上当受骗，因为它们会被表情所模仿。但白纸上的黑字才是赤裸裸的灵魂。
只要是利益他人的事情，就要坚持做下去；只要是不利于别人的事情，就要马上停止不做。
We are all prisoners of our own minds, and it is only through self-reflection that we can break free.
A literatura é a expressão máxima da liberdade humana.
