In me, past, present, future meet，于我，过去、现在和未来
To hold long chiding conference. 商讨聚会 各执一词 纷扰不息。
My lusts usurp the present tense 林林总总的 欲望，掠取着我的现在
And strangle Reason in his seat. 把“理性”扼杀于它的宝座
My loves leap through the future's fence 我的爱情纷纷越过未来的藩篱
To dance with dream-enfranchised feet. 梦想解放出它们的双脚 舞蹈不停
In me the cave-man clasps the seer, 于我，穴居人攫取了先知，
And garlanded Apollo goes 佩戴花环的阿波罗神
Chanting to Abraham's deaf ear. 向亚伯拉罕的聋耳唱叹歌吟。
In me the tiger sniffs the rose. 心有猛虎，细嗅蔷薇。
Look in my heart, kind friends, and tremble, 审视我的内心吧，亲爱的朋友，你应颤栗，
Since there your elements assemble. 因为那才是你本来的面目。
------西格夫里·萨松代

有的人在二十岁已经死了，只是在几十年后才被埋葬。

她那时候还太年轻，不知道所有命运赠送的礼物，早已在暗中标好了价格。——茨威格 《断头王后》

“1）任何在我出生时已经有的科技都是稀松平常的世界本来秩序的一部分。2）任何在我15-35岁之间诞生的科技都是将会改变世界的革命性产物。3）任何在我35岁之后诞生的科技都是违反自然规律要遭天谴的。”
英国科幻作家道格拉斯·亚当斯的科技三定律

I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:
1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.
Douglas Adams' Three Rules of Innovation

“人类最古老最强烈的恐惧，便是对未知的恐惧。”
－－克苏鲁神话的创制者，H.P.洛夫克拉夫特（1890～1937）

如果天空是黑暗的，那就摸黑生存；如果发出声音是危险的，那就保持沉默；如果自觉无力发光的，那就蜷伏于墙角。但不要习惯了黑暗，就为黑暗辩护，不要为自己的苟且而得意；不要嘲讽那些比自己更勇敢热情的人们。我可以卑微如尘土，不可扭曲如蛆虫。

Life is a tragedy seen close,while a drama seen remotely.
人生近看是悲剧 远看则是喜剧
---卓别林

梦想一旦被付诸行动,就会变得神圣
-----R.A.普罗克特（Proctor, Richard Anthony）

“In my end is my beginning”(我死即我生)。——苏格兰女王玛丽一世

男儿到死心如铁，看试手，补天裂。

美国神父尼布尔的《宁静祈祷文》
愿上帝赐予我宁静，
接纳我无法改变的事。
愿上帝赐予我勇气，
改变我可以改变的事。
愿上帝赐予我智慧，
让我能分辨这两者的不同。
过好我的每一天，享受你所赐每一刻，把困苦当成通往平安的道路，像主 耶稣 那样，接受这罪恶的世界，按其现实本相，而非如我所愿。相信他会使一切变得美好，只要我顺服他的旨意；我可以在此生有合宜的欢乐，并在永生里，与他永享至福。阿门。
God, Grant methe SERENITY, to accept the things I cannot change,COURAGE to change the things I can, andthe WISDOM to know the difference.Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time;Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace.Taking as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it;Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will.That I may be reasonably happy in this life, andsupremely happy with Him forever in the next.Amen

小舟从此逝，江海寄馀生。----
《临江仙·夜饮东坡醒复醉》
夜饮东坡醒复醉，归来仿佛三更。家童鼻息已雷鸣。敲门都不应，倚杖听江声。长恨此身非我有，何时忘却营营？夜阑风静縠纹平。小舟从此逝，江海寄馀生。
