1. 村上春樹《舞舞舞》／Haruki Murakami's Dance Dance Dance:
"Unfortunately, the clock is ticking, the hours are going by. The past increases, the future recedes. Possibilities decreasing, regrets mounting."
(不幸地，時鐘滴答地響，時間一直流逝。過去增加，未來減小。機會減退，遺憾增長。)
2. 林語堂《生活的藝術》／Lin Yutang's The Importance of Living：
「如果我們在世界裏有了知識而不能了解，有了批評而不能欣賞，有了美而沒有愛，有了真理而缺少熱情，有了公義而缺乏慈悲，有了禮貌而一無溫暖的心，這種世界將成為一個多麼可憐的世界啊！」
"Miserable indeed is a world in which
we have knowledge without understanding, criticism without appreciation, beauty without love, truth without passion, righteousness without mercy, and courtesy without a warm heart!"
3. 和無悔。／And no regret.
