我曾经七次鄙视自己的灵魂——1．它本可进取，却故作谦卑；2．它空虚时，用爱欲来填充；3．困难和容易之间，它选择容易；4．它犯错，却借由别人来宽慰自己；5．它自由软弱，却认为是生命的坚韧；6．它鄙夷一张丑恶的嘴脸，却不知那是自己面具中的一副；7．它在生活污泥中，虽不甘心，却又畏首畏尾。
Contemptible Soul:faking humility where it should be aggressive;seeking sensual pleasures when empty;slipping into the easy in face of the difficult; self-comforting when erroneous;labeling weakness as tenacity of life in self-deceit;yielding,though unwillingly,to the muddy life.
穿过幽暗的岁月，也曾感到彷徨，当你低头的瞬间，才发觉脚下的路。（许巍——《蓝莲花》看到这里我彻底服了）Walking through the dark days / wavering to and fro / That moment you look down to your feet / You see the road underneath
幸福，是用来感觉的，而不是用来比较的。生活，是用来经营的，而不是用来计较的。感情，是用来维系的，而不是用来考验的。爱人，是用来疼爱的，而不是用来伤害的。金钱，是用来付出的，而不是用来衡量的。 谎言，是用来击破的，而不是用来粉饰的。信任，是用来沉淀的，而不是用来挑战的。
Happiness is to be felt, not to be compared; life is to be lived, not to be bargained; love is to tie, not to test; sweetheart is to be loved, not to be hurt; money is to pay, not to measure; lie is to be disclosed, not to gloss; trust is to deposit, not to be challenged.

《教父》经典台词：1、不要让别人知道你的想法。2、当你说“不”时,你要使“不”听上去象“是”一样好听。3.让朋友低估你的优点，让敌人高估你的缺点。 4、痛苦不象死亡那样无可挽回！5、永远不要恨你的敌人，因为这会影响你的判断力。6、如果你没有时间和家人在一起，你就永远无法成为真正的男人。

不是一切火焰只燃烧自己而不把别人照亮;不是一切星星仅指示黑暗而不报告曙光;不是一切歌声只掠过耳旁而不留在心上Not every flame is to destroy but not enlighten;not every star is to signal darkness but not welcome daylight;not every song is to waft past ears but not imprint on heart.
所有的悲伤，总会留下一丝欢乐的线索。所有的遗憾，总会留下一处完美的角落。我在冰封的深海，找寻希望的缺口。却在午夜惊醒时，蓦然瞥见绝美的月光。(几米)

每个人的心里，有多么长的一个清单，这些清单里写着多少美好的事，可是，它们总是被推迟，被搁置，在时间的阁楼上腐烂。为什么勇气的问题总是被误以为是时间的问题，而那些沉重、抑郁的、不得已的，总是被叫做生活本身。（刘瑜）
