Memory is a tricky thing. It's not always reliable, but it's all we have.
Most of what makes a book 'good' is that we are reading it at the right moment for us.
The chief beauty about time is that you cannot waste it in advance. The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you, as perfect, as unspoiled, as if you had never wasted or misapplied a single moment in all your life.
释义：不热衷打听他人的是非，不刻意关注别人的缺点，不传播他人的过错。
——《致郑藻如书》（1890年）
