【认识自我】
表现我们真正自我的是我们的选择,选择比我们的能力重要得多。It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.
✐ 依稀记得分院帽的时候出现的词,自认为翻译为「相较于能力,我们更可能在自己所做的选择中发现真正的自我」会更好些。这句话让我学会不那么被动,能力是被别人定义的,而自发性意愿和选择接近的是人的本质。【面对生死】

♞ 对于头脑十分清醒的人来说,死亡不过是另一场伟大的冒险。To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.
♞ 你才是死亡的真正征服者,因为真正的征服者绝不会试图逃离死神。他会欣然接受必死的命运,并知道活人的世界里有着比死亡更加糟糕的事情。You are the true master of death, because the true master does not seek torun away from Death.He accepts that he must die, and understands that there are far, far worse things in the living world than dying.
♞ 你认为我们爱过的死者会真正离开我们吗?你不以为在苦难的时候,我们会更清晰地想起他们吗?You think the dead we loved ever truly leave us? You think that we don't recall them more clearly than ever in times of great trouble?【面对恐惧】对事物永远使用正确的称呼。对一个名称的恐惧,会强化对这个事物本身的恐惧。Always use the proper name for things. Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself.【面对权威】
♞ 老年人低估年轻人的时候,是愚蠢和健忘的。Age is foolish and forgetful when it underestimates youth.【面对情感】
♞ 冷漠和忽视造成的伤害,常常比直接的反感厉害得多。But indifference, but also turned a blind eye is often straight forward than the harm to much larger offensive.
♞ 暂时使痛苦变得麻木,只会使你最后感觉疼痛时疼得更加厉害。Numbing the pain for a while will make it worse when you finally feel it.【关于人性】
♞ 人们容易原谅别人的错误,却很难原谅别人的正确。People find it far easier to forgive others for being wrong than being right.
♞ 他那样忙于破坏自己的灵魂,从来无暇去了解一个纯洁健全的灵魂拥有何等无与伦比的力量。He was in such a hurry to mutilate his own soul, he never paused to understand the incomparable power of a soul that is untarnished and whole.【人生哲学】
