“ I would rather be ashes than dust! 我宁愿化作灰烬,也不要做尘埃。I would rather be a superb meteor,every atom of me in magnificent glow,than a sleepy and permanent planet.我愿做一颗华丽的流星,愿我的每一颗粒都呈现那动人的光辉,而不做那沉睡并永远不灭的行星。The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.”人的恰当功能是活,而不是生。我不会用延长日子,把时光浪费,我要利用时间。
