I want you to remember who you are, despite the bad things that are happening to you. Because those bad things aren’t you. They are just things that happen to you. You need to accept that who you are and the things that happen to you, are not one and the same.即使你经历了些糟糕的事情,我也想要你记住你是谁。因为那些事不是你,它们只是发生在你身上罢了。你要明白,“你是谁”和“你经历了什么”不是一回事。 Colleen Hoover, Hopeless科琳·胡佛 《绝望》

Forgiving isn’t something you do for someone else. It’s something you do for yourself. It’s saying, “You’re not important enough to have a stranglehold on me.” It’s saying, “You don’t get to trap me in the past. I am worthy of a future.”原谅这件事,是为你自己而做,而不是为别人而做。这表示,“你对我来说无足轻重别想束缚我”;也表示,“我的过去不由你牵绊,我的未来由我去做主”。 Jodi Picoult, The Storyteller朱迪·皮考特 《讲故事的人》

All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renewed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king.真金未必都发光,漂泊未必都迷茫;老当益壮不衰朽,根深蒂固经风霜。灰烬重燃熊熊火,阴影复苏熠熠光;宝剑锋从断錾出,无冕之人再称王。 J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring约翰·罗纳德·瑞尔·托尔金 《魔戒·护戒使者》(译文来源于网络)

Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.人们潜意识的深处,都普遍追求着一个有逻辑的宇宙,它让一切有意义。然而,真实的宇宙总是与逻辑有着一步之遥。 Frank Herbert, Dune 弗兰克·赫伯特 《沙丘》

Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts. I was better after I had cried, than before – more sorry, more aware of my own ingratitude, more gentle.上帝知道,我们无需为自己的泪水而羞愧,因为泪水就像雨水落在模糊我们视线的灰尘上,浸没我们坚硬的心灵土壤。哭泣后,我感觉更好——我更加愧疚,更加意识到自己的忘恩负义,也更加温柔。 Charles Dickens, Great Expectations查尔斯·狄更斯 《远大前程》
