人类的历史不过是宇宙打了个盹儿时做的一个梦。

“或许我还没真正理解你，”我说，“我不是个头脑灵活的人，理解一件事需要有个过程。但只要有时间，总会完全理解你，而且比世上任何人都理解得彻底。”

天地万物都会输给时间，没人可以逃过它残忍的凝视与审判。也许我们终究会成长为自己曾经最讨厌的模样，但在此之前，面对黑暗无边，让我与你并肩。你看见了吧，那朵微弱却不熄的花火，它在为我们闪烁。

郭敬明

The most important thing is to keep the most important thing the most important thing.

最重要的事情是让最重要的事情保持最重要。

鲁道夫·卡尔曼

年轻时，你以为长大后就会幸福。但长大后，你意识到年轻时的自己才是幸福的。

When you are young, you think you will be happy when you are older. But then you get older and you realize you were happy when you were young.

科尔姆·托宾

谈到教育的严格性，我们难以想象芬兰这样的国家在组织全国统一考试时的严肃性比起我们的高考简直是有过之而无不及：他们的高考会持续3个星期，总共约50个小时，而芬兰语的考试就有两天。第一天，学生需要阅读几篇短文，对各篇短文分析论述，考试时间共计6个小时。第二天，学生们需要从14个选题中选出一个题目，然后写出一篇观点独立、篇幅很长的文章，考试时间也是6个小时。如果中途有考生要上厕所，老师们也要跟着学生到厕所。

现在，我想趁这个给机会，给大家一些人生经验。漫漫人生路啊，你会发现并不总是公平的，你也会发现本不属于你的不可承受之重，却重重地压在你的身上，而且这些并非合理。但是，你必须低下头，并且抗争！抗争！抗争！永远永远不要放弃，一切终将变好。看看我是怎么被对待的，尤其是媒体对我的攻击。历史上没有一个政治家，我非常肯定地说，比我受到过更糟，更不公平的待遇。但是，你不能被他们打败，在你的人生的追梦路上，你不能被批评者和否定者绊住脚步。我想这就是为什么我赢了，谢谢，我想这就是为什么我们胜利了。逆境让你变得更加强大，不要屈服，不要退缩，不要停止做你认为正确的事情，一切值得做的事情。必定要经历诸多磨难，你所做的事情越正义，你受到的阻力就越大。我已经取得了巨大的成就，在很短的时间内成为了总统。

Now I want to take this opportunity to give you some advice. Over the course of your life, you will find that things are not always fair, you will find that things happen to you that you do not deserve, and that are not always warranted, but you have to put your head down, and FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! Never ever ever give up, things will work out just fine. Look at the way I've been treated lately, especially by the media. No politician in history, and I say this is great surety, has been treated worse, more unfairly. You can't let them get you down, you can't let the critics, and the naysayers get in the way of your dream. I guess that's why I won, thank you. I guess that's why we won. Adversity makes you stronger, don't give in, don't back down, and never stop doing what you know is right. Nothing worth doing, ever ever ever came easy, and the more righteous you fight, the more opposition that you will face. I've accomplished a tremendous amount, in a very short time as president.
