"You can't do anything about the length of your life, but you can do something about its width and depth."

失去一种语言就是失去一种看世界的方式。

 政治精神倾向于使人们彼此疏远。

You think it will never happen to you, that it cannot happen to you, that you are the only person in the world to whom none of these things will ever happen, and then, one by one, they all begin to happen to you, in the same way they happen to everyone else.

Fame is vapor; popularity an accident; the only earthly certainty is oblivion.

I believe in the power of love and music to heal.
