这是最好的时代，也是最坏的时代；这是智慧的时代，也是愚蠢的时代；这是信仰的时代，也是怀疑的时代；这是光明的季节，也是黑暗的季节；这是希望的春天，也是绝望的冬天；我们什么都有，也什么都没有；我们正走向天堂之路，也正走向地狱之门。

"The world is full of stories, and each one is a window into a different reality."

The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient.

唯一使生活成为可能的是永久、无法忍受的不确定性；不知道接下来会发生什么。
