History is not just about the past, it is also a mirror of the present.
历史不仅仅是过去的事情，它也是现在的镜子。
The sea is a mirror of the human soul—endless and unfathomable.
世界是事实的总体，而不是事物的总体。
一个词的意义不是心智实体，而是社会实践。
The desire for recognition, the thymotic part of the soul, is the most political part of man.
【译文】我每天多次省察我自己：为别人做事有没有尽力，和朋友交往有没有不真诚，教别人的东西自己有没有研习好。
I like the stars. It's the illusion of permanence, I think. I mean, they're always flaring up and caving in and going out. But from here, I can pretend...I can pretend that things last. I can pretend that lives last longer than moments. Gods come, and gods go. Mortals flicker and flash and fade. Worlds don't last; and stars and galaxies are transient, fleeting things that twinkle like fireflies and vanish into cold and dust. But I can pretend.
