We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. Medicine, law, business, engineering: these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love...these are what we stay alive for.

I'm not a god, I'm a human being with flaws.

教育是对人力资本的投资，会以更高生产率的形式获得回报。

译文：把读书看成功业，用一生的时间去做，自然就会得到读书带来的乐趣；心存善念，多做善事，不必去争那些乐善好施的虚名。赏析：读书和做善事一样，不必在乎那些功利的想法。读书应该用心，读书的乐趣不是用金钱的多少来衡量的。做好事，只要问心无愧，不必非得让别人知道。
