2010/7/20 We are all of us more or less echoes, repeating involuntarily the virtues, the defects, the movements, and the characters of those among whom we live. -Joseph Joubert, essayist (1754-1824) 2010/7/19 Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. Absolve you to yourself, and you shall have the suffrage of the world. -Ralph Waldo Emerson, writer and philosopher (1803-1882) 2010/7/13 Like cars in amusement parks, our direction is often determined through collisions. -Yahia Lababidi, author (b. 1973) 2010/7/14 Conscience is a man's compass, and though the needle sometimes deviates, though one often perceives irregularities when directing one's course by it, one must still try to follow its direction. -Vincent van Gogh, painter (1853-1890) 2010/7/15 Gold in its native state is but dull, unornamental stuff, and only lowborn metals excite the admiration of the ignorant with an ostentatious glitter. However, like the rest of the world, I still go on underrating men of gold and glorifying men of mica. -Mark Twain, author and humorist (1835-1910) 2010/7/16 "Faith" is a fine invention For gentlemen who see -- But microscopes are prudent In an emergency. -Emily Dickinson, poet (1830-1886) 2010/7/18 The sum of human wisdom is not contained in any one language, and no single language is capable of expressing all forms and degrees of human comprehension. -Ezra Pound, poet (1885-1972) ----------- 前面有版友推薦 A.Word.A.Day (我以前不曉得) 現在我訂閱了， Anu Garg 簡直是我的偶像!!! 他們的每日一字每天都有一個 thought，引用有名的作家說的話，大部分都很有哲理，我認為值得介紹給大家，每天用英語去思考至少一個觀念，慢慢地去 build up，我認為這會對寫作有極大幫助。寫作最怕的就是沒想法、沒材料，腦袋空空是也。我看到不錯的佳句，就會 update 上來這篇。其他的歡迎大家自行收看或訂閱。 http://wordsmith.org/words/today.html -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.112.175.59
