Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.

The best way to predict the future is to invent it. Don't worry about what anybody else is going to do. The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

我得经常同自己说，有些鸟儿是关不住的。它们的羽毛太鲜亮了。当它们飞走的时候，你心底里知道把它们关起来是一种罪恶，你会因此而振奋。不过，它们一走，你住的地方也就更加灰暗空虚。我觉得我真是怀念我的朋友。

I have to say to myself that some birds aren't very close. Their feathers are just too bright. When they fly away, you know it's a sin to lock them up, and you'll be inspired by them. Still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I think I really miss my friends.

弗兰克·德拉邦特

革命时代总要有许多文艺家萎黄，有许多文艺家向新的山崩地塌般的大波冲进去，乃仍被吞没，或者受伤。被吞没的消灭了；受伤的生活着，开拓着自己的生活，唱着苦痛和愉悦之歌。待到这些逝去了，于是现出一个较新的新时代，产出更新的文艺来。中国自民元革命以来，所谓文艺家，没有萎黄的，也没有受伤的，自然更没有消灭，也没有苦痛和愉悦之歌。这就是因为没有新的山崩地塌般的大波，也就是因为没有革命。

鲁迅

时间和晚钟埋葬了白天，乌云卷走了太阳。向日葵会转向我们吗？

托马斯·艾略特

我仍将干了的花朵还你，再为你破例地说我自己。

汪曾祺

快马加鞭未下鞍，离天三尺三。

一字入公门，九牛拖不出。

谚语

两个黄鹂鸣翠柳，一行白鹭上青天。窗含西岭千秋雪，门泊东吴万里船。
