从此，各自飘零，各自悲哀。 （《飘》，玛格丽特·米切尔）
She was still too young to know that life never gives anything for nothing, and that a price is always exacted for what fate bestows.
她那时候还太年轻,不知道所有命运赠予的礼物,早已在暗中标好了价格。——茨威格《断头王后》
I give myself very good advice , but I very seldom follow it.
我常给自己提出好建议，但却几乎没有遵循过（《爱丽丝梦游仙境》，Lewis Carroll）
Pretend modesty often is nonsense, sometimes just is the beat around the bush boast
假装谦虚往往就是信口开河，有时候简直是拐弯抹角的自夸。 （《傲慢与偏见》简•奥斯汀）
Men are not influenced by things, but by their thoughts about things. (Epictetus )
人並非被事物影响、而是人对事物的看法。出自希臘哲人Epictetus，在叔本華《論人生智慧》一書引用。
If you happen to pass by 84 Charing Cross Road, kiss it for me! I owe it so much.
如果你碰巧经过查令十字街84号，请替我亲吻他。我亏欠他太多。 （《查令十字街84号》，海莲·汉芙）
In your place, if there is pain, nurse it, and if there is a flame, don't snuff it out, don't be brutal with it. Withdrawal can be a terrible thing when it keeps us awake at night, and watching others forget us sooner than we'd want to be forgotten is no better. We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster than we should that we go bankrupt by the age of thirty and have less to offer each time we start with someone new.But to feel nothing so as not to feel anything what a waste!
就你的立场来说，如果有痛苦，就去照料；如果有火焰，也不要掐熄，不要粗暴地对待它。让我们夜不成眠得退缩可能很糟，但眼见别人在我们愿意被遗忘以前先忘了我们，也好不到哪里去。为了用不合理的快速度治愈问题，我们从自己身上剥夺了太多东西，以致不到三十岁就已经破产。每次重新开始一段感情，能付出的东西就变得更少。为了不要有感觉而不去感觉，多么浪费啊！ （《 请以你的名字呼唤我》，安德烈·艾席蒙）
I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
我在大理石中看见被禁锢的天使,于是我不停地雕刻,直至使他自由。（《我，米开朗基罗，雕刻家》米开朗基罗；原著是意大利语，目前某宝上有中文版。）
He who fights too long against dragons becomes a dragon himself;and if thou gaze too long into the abyss,the abyss will gaze into thee.
与恶龙缠斗过久，自身亦成为恶龙；凝视深渊过久，深渊将回以凝视。（《善恶的彼岸》，尼采；译者:孙仲旭）
You know some birds are not meant to be caged, their feathers are just too bright.
你知道，有些鸟儿是注定不会被关在牢笼里的，它们的每一片羽毛都闪耀着自由的光辉。（《Shawshank Redemption》， [美] 斯蒂芬•金）@奥德赛.
I have an idea that some men are born out of their due place. Accidents has cast them amid certain surroundings, but they have always a nostalgia for a home they know not. They are strangers in their birthplace, and the leafy lanes they have known from childhood or the populous streets in which they have played,remain but a place of passage.
我总觉得有些人没有出生在正确的地方。偶然的命运将他们丢到特定的环境，但他们总是对某个不知在何处的家乡念念不忘。他们是出生之地的过客，从孩提时代就熟悉的林荫小径，或者曾在其中玩耍过的热闹街道，都无非是人生路上的驿站。
They may spend their whole lives aliens among their kindred and remain aloof among the only scenes they have ever known. Perhaps it is this sense of strangeness that sends man far and wide in search for somthing permanent, to which they may attach themselves. Perhaps some deep-rooted atavism urges the wanderer back to lands which his ancestors left in the dim beginnings of history. Sometimes a man hits upon a place to which he mysteriously feels that he belongs.
他们始终把亲友视如陌路，对生平仅见的环境毫无感情。也许正是这种疏离感推动他们远走高飞，去寻找某种永恒的东西，某片能让他们眷恋的土地。也许正是某种藏得很深的寻根意识，敦促这些天涯游子重返他们的祖先在涅远的太初便已离开的故地。
（《月亮与六便士》，毛姆）
Life is difficult.
生活不易。（《少有人走的路》，M·斯科特·派克）
Why why why why why... I think land people waste a lot of time wondering why. Winter comes they can't wait for summer; summer comes they're living dread of winter. That's why you're never tired of travelling, with chasing some place far away, where there's always summer. That doesn't sound like a good bet to me.
陆上的人喜欢寻根问底，虚度了大好光阴。冬天忧虑夏天的姗姗来迟，夏天则担心冬天的将至。所以他们不停四处游走，追求一个遥不可及、四季如夏的地方——我并不羡慕。（《海上钢琴师》，吉赛贝·托纳多雷
