所谓认识，只有对自身的认识可言。我们几乎也可以说，所谓嫉妒，只有对自身的嫉妒可言；别人的行为是无足轻重的；我们只有从自身感到的快乐中才能引出智慧和痛苦。 - 每日文摘

我们所看到或似乎看到的一切，都只是梦中之梦。

All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.

米歇尔·图尼埃

我们最神圣的眼泪，永不寻求我们的眼睛。

纪伯伦

The world is a beautiful book, but of little use to him who cannot read it.

世界是一本美丽的书，但对那些无法阅读它的人来说几乎没有用处。

海涅

活着就要全力以赴，永不放弃。

谢尔盖·布林

纵然我们彼此相怜，谁都是爱莫能助，正像地狱底的幽魂盼不到天堂的幸福。

莎士比亚

That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little run. So I ran to the end of the road, and when I got there, I thought maybe I'd run to the end of town. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd just run across Greenbow County. Now, I figured since I'd run this far, maybe I'd just run across the great state of Alabama. And that's what I did. I ran clear across Alabama. No particular reason. I just kept on going. I ran clear to the ocean. And when I got there, I figured since I'd gone this far, might as well turn around, just keep on going. And when I got to another ocean, I figured since I'd gone this far... I might as well just turn back and keep right on going. When I got tired, I slept. When I got hungry, I ate. When I had to go... you know... I went.

那一天，不知什么原因，我决定出去跑一趟，所以我跑到路的尽头。当我到达那里，我想也许我能跑到城边；而当我到达那里，我想也许我能跑遍绿茵县；这时我想既然我跑了那么远，也许我可以跑遍亚拉巴马州。我就这么做了。我横越整个亚拉巴马，不知什么原因，我继续跑，我一直跑到大海；当我到达那里，我想既然我跑了那么远，也许不如掉头继续跑，然后当我跑到另一个大海；我想既然我跑了那么远，我也许不如掉头，继续跑下去。当我累了，我就睡觉；当我饿了，我就吃饭；当我想去…你知道…我就去。

温斯顿·格鲁姆

Aim to die broke. Give to your beneficiaries before you die； it’s more fun and useful. Spend it all. Your last check should go to the funeral home and it should bounce.

争取在离世之前花光自己所有的钱。相比于给你的受益人，自己全部花光更有趣也更有意义。你填的最后一张支票应该是给殡仪馆，还应该拒付。

凯文·凯利

一切都像刚睡醒的样子，嫩嫩的，绿绿的。院子里，田野里，瞧去，一大片一大片满是的。

朱自清

我们都是孤独的，生来孤独，死去孤独，尽管有真实的浪漫杂志，总有一天我们会回顾我们的生活，看到尽管有伴侣，我们一直都是孤独的。

"We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and—in spite of True Romance magazines—we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way."
