西半球小白菜 (original) (raw)

如果你必须离开一个地方,一个你曾经住过、爱过、深埋着你所有过往的地方,无论以何种方式离开,都不要慢慢离开,要尽你所能决绝地离开,永远不要回头,也永远不要相信过去的时光才是更好的。因为它们已经消亡。过去的岁月看来安全无害,被轻易跨越,而未来藏在迷雾之中,隔着距离,叫人看来胆怯。但当你踏足其中,就会云开雾散。

——<夜航西飞>

The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people.

― Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture

你们知道,只要人一辈子钓过一次鲈鱼,或者在秋天见过一次鸫鸟南飞,瞧着它们在晴朗而凉快的日子里怎样成群飞过村庄,那他就再也不能做一个城里人,他会一直到死都苦苦地盼望自由的生活。

— 契诃夫 醋栗
