Life is nasty, brutish, and short.
我们不是从祖先那里继承了海洋;而是从子孙那里借来的。
对抗压力最强大的武器是我们选择一种思想而非另一种的能力。
The idea that we will make a society where literally everybody is graded, the good at the top, bad at the bottom, exactly done as it should be, is impossible. There are simply too many random factors: accidents, accidents of birth, accidents of things dropping on people's heads, illnesses, etc. We will never get to grade them, never get to grade people as they should.
There is no greater glory than to die for love.
